    Please see the attached file.

    2p means n=2 and l=1
    n is te principal QN and l is the orbital QN

    For n = 1,2, 3 , l can take 0,1,2...(n-1) values
    Similarly ml can take -l , 0,- l values. Here is the magnetic orbital QN
    For each magnetic QN, there can be 2 spin states +1/2 and -1/2.
    So when you say 2p0, the 0 ...
