 | | Each of the elements in the periodic table is classified according to its atomic number, which is the number of protons in that element's nucleus. |
 | | The angular momentum quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. |
 | | The angular momentum number (or subshell) can be represented either by a number (any integer from 0 up to n-1) or by a letter (s, p, d, f, g, and then up the alphabet), with 0 corresponding to s, 1 to p, 2 to d, and so on. |
