Electron configuration
This document discusses quantum numbers and their role in describing electron orbitals and configurations. It covers the principal (n), azimuthal (l), and magnetic (ml) quantum numbers, as well as electron spin (ms). The document defines orbitals for the first five energy levels, discusses how electrons fill orbitals based on the Aufbau principle and Hund's rule, and notes exceptions like chromium and copper. It asks the reader to write electron configurations and diagrams for chlorine, osmium, and cesium.
