Figure 2. Scheme of Electron orbital

Motion of electrons around nucleus is described by energy and structure of atomic orbital. State of electron is described by values of 4 quantum figures (Tables 3, 4).

Example: To show a p-orbital:

l=1, m_l= -1; 0; +1;

p-orbital has 3 variants of space orientation:
