Explanation:
The shapes and relative energies of the orbitals s,p,d and f orbitals are given by the principal quantum number and the azimuthal quantum number.
The principal quantum number gives the main energy level and the azimuthal quantum number denotes the shape of the orbitals.
- For the principal quantum number, they represent the energy levels in which the orbital is located or the average distance of the orbital from the nucleus. It takes the number n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7......
- The azimuthal quantum number(L) shows the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating electrons. The number of possible shapes is limited by the the principal quantum number.
