Atomic Orbital
An atomic orbital is the term which defined the position of electron in the atom. Since atoms have different orbitals which also includes sub-shells, spin of electrons etc. The position of electrons can be determined by knowing the value of principal quantum number, azimuthal quantum number as they are given specific value for particular shell and sub-shell. For example, if value of n is 1, this is called s-orbital, for n is equal to 2, this is called p-orbital, and so on...

It is given that
{eq}\rm n = 2 {/eq}
{eq}\rm l = 1 {/eq}
n represents the principal quantum number and
l represents the azimuthal quantum...
