They are denoted by 'n' principal quantum number.
- Here it says orbital are numbered as 1, 2, 3 ,4 . This is value of n= 1, 2 , 3 , 4 and it is represented as K, L , M , N . It is denoted by the 'n ' which is a principal quantum number.
- So, principal quantum number refers to the eight main shells that is represented by K,L,M,N....and it describes the atomic orbital.
- Principal quantum number, n, it also describes the energy of an electron. Energy levels of a given state is at fixed distance from the nucleus. It also tells about the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus.
- Which means, it refers to the size of the orbital and about the energy level an electron in which it is situated.
