Worksheet On Quantum Numbers
This is our final way to describe the location of an electron. It consists of four numbers that act as coordinates to
locate the electron’s position. These numbers will refers only to the element’s highest energy electron because the
other fall into the same locations that have been described in the elements preceding it.
