    Schrodinger's proposal, considered as the 5th atomic model, is to describe the characteristics of all the electrons in an atom, and for this I use what we know as quantum numbers.

    Quantum numbers are called with the letters n, m, l and s and indicate the position and energy of the electron. No electron of the same atom can have the same quantum numbers.

    Explanation:

    n = main quantum number, which indicates the level of energy where the electron is, assumes positive integer values, from 1 to 7 and it is related to the orbital too.

    I = secondary quantum number, which indicates the orbital in which the electron is located, can be s, p, d and f (0, 1, 2 and 3).

    m = magnetic quantum number, represents the orientation of the orbitals in space, or the type of orbital, within a specific orbital. Assumes values of the negative secondary quantum number (-l) through zero, to the positive quantum number ( + l).

    s = quantum number of spin, which describes the orientation of the electron spin. This number takes into account the rotation of the electron around its own axis as it moves around the nucleus. Assumes only two values +1/2 and - 1/2
