describe the angular momentum of an electron. An electron spins around an axis and has both angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. Because angular momentum is a vector, the Spin Quantum Number (s) has both a magnitude (½) and direction (+ or -)
(+½) ===> in the direction of clock
(-½) ===> against the direction of clock
The electrons take place in orbs in a specific way.
Imagine the orbs like beds and electrons like persons. Every person tend to sleep alone in bed (+½) unless there is no bed left so the other person have to sleep upside down (-½).

The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.
Every azimuthal number has his own capacity of electrons
Specifie the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy (n) and shape (l). This number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons; there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell.
Every orbital capacity is 2 electrons

All individuals possess what is called 'an internal clock', which has as main purpose to schedule sleep and wakefulness within one entire day of 24 hours.
Now comes the difference in regards to how the 'clock' works for each person: there are people who wake up earlier and go to bed e...
