Solution of the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom results in a set of functions (orbitals) that describe the behavior of the electron. Each function is characterized by 3 quantum numbers: n, 1, and m, Erwin Schrödinger n is known as the quantum number. I is known as the quantum number. m, is known as the quantum number. n specifies I specifies m, specifies A.The subshell - orbital shape. B.The energy and average distance from the nucleus. C.The orbital orientation.
