The principal quantum number, n, is related to the size of the orbital. A second quantum number, the angular momentum quantum number, I, is used to represent different shapes of orbital. The orientation of any non-spherical orbital is indicated by a third quantum number, the magnetic quantum number, m. A fourth quantum number, the spin quantum number, s, indicates the spin of an electron within an orbital.

Rydberg series A Rydberg state is a state of an atom or molecule in which one of the electrons has been excited to a high principal quantum number orbital. A Rydberg series is the set of bound states of the excited electron for a given set of excited electron angular momentum quantum numbers and ion core state. 

In quantum mechanics, three quantum numbers are required to describe the distribution of electrons in hydrogen and other atoms. These numbers are derived from the mathematical solution of the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom. They are called the principal quantum number, the angular momentum quantum number, and the magnetic quantum number. These quantum numbers will be used to describe atomic orbitals and to label electrons that reside in them. A fourth quantum number—the spin quantum number—describes the behavior of a specific electron and completes the description of electrons in atoms.

The second quantum number— the angular momentum quantum number, I—can have integral values from 0 to ( — 1) for each value of n. This quantum number defines the shape of the orbital. The value of / for a particular orbital is generally designated by the letters s, p, d, and j corresponding to / values of 0, 1, 2, and 3 ... 

The four quantum numbers that describe the properties of electrons in atomic orbitals are the principal quantum number, the angular momentum quantum number, the magnetic quantum number, and the spin quantum number. 

The Angular Momentum Quantum Number (/) The angular momentum quantum number is an integer that determines the shape of the orbital. We will consider these shapes in Section 7.6. The possible values of / are 0, 1, 2,..., (n - 1). In other words, for a given value of n, I can be any integer (including 0) up to n — 1.

The wavevector is a good quantum number e.g., the orbitals of the Kohn-Sham equations [21] can be rigorously labelled by k and spin. In tln-ee dimensions, four quantum numbers are required to characterize an eigenstate. In spherically syimnetric atoms, the numbers correspond to n, /, m., s, the principal, angular momentum, azimuthal and spin quantum numbers, respectively. Bloch s theorem states that the equivalent... 

The simplest case arises when the electronic motion can be considered in temis of just one electron for example, in hydrogen or alkali metal atoms. That electron will have various values of orbital angular momentum described by a quantum number /. It also has a spin angular momentum described by a spin quantum number s of d, and a total angular momentum which is the vector sum of orbital and spin parts with... 

The simplest case is a transition in a linear molecule. In this case there is no orbital or spin angular momentum. The total angular momentum, represented by tire quantum number J, is entirely rotational angular momentum. The rotational energy levels of each state approximately fit a simple fomuila ... 

For high rotational levels, or for a moleeule like OFI, for whieh the spin-orbit splitting is small, even for low J, the pattern of rotational/fme-stnieture levels approaehes the Flund s ease (b) limit. In this situation, it is not meaningful to speak of the projeetion quantum number Rather, we first eonsider the rotational angular momentum N exelusive of the eleetron spin. This is then eoupled with the spin to yield levels with total angular momentum J = N + dand A - d. As before, there are two nearly degenerate pairs of levels assoeiated...

Each set of p orbitals has three distinct directions or three different angular momentum m-quantum numbers as discussed in Appendix G. Each set of d orbitals has five distinct directions or m-quantum numbers, etc s orbitals are unidirectional in that they are spherically symmetric, and have only m = 0. Note that the degeneracy of an orbital (21+1), which is the number of distinct spatial orientations or the number of m-values.
