Hello and thank you for posting your question to Brainmass.
There are three quantum numbers that describe the state of the electron in a central potential (such as hydrogen's Coulomb potential):
n: called the "principal quantum number" and it is a parameter found in the part of the wave function that depends on radial distance r. It ...
