Explain principal quantum number?
Answers
Answer:
hey mate
here is ur answer
In quantum mechanics, the principal quantum number (symbolized n) is one of four quantum numbers assigned to all electrons in an atom to describe that electron's state. Its values are natural numbers (from 1) making it a discrete variable.
Apart from the principal quantum number, the other quantum numbers for bound electrons are the azimuthal quantum number ℓ, the magnetic quantum number ml, and the spin quantum number s.
hope it helps u
thanks for giving me a chance to help

Answer:
The principal quantum number n represents the relative overall energy of each orbital. The energy level of each orbital increases as its distance from the nucleus increases. The sets of orbitals with the same n value are often referred to as an electron shell.
