I just want to make sure that I understand quantum numbers correctly
n=shell... the higher the shell number the higher the energy of the electron
l=subshell... in general the higher the subshell the higher the energy level (or no?)
m(l)=orbital... is there any relation with energy and orbital?
m(s)=spin... electrons spin number... usually electrons will fill all the orbitals before they start pairing... could some energy cause two electrons to share an orbital and leave an orbital empty?
I appreciate you helping me clarify things!
