👉 In quantum mechanics, a "quantum" or "quantum number" is a numerical value that represents a quantity that can be quantized. It is a fundamental concept in physics and has applications in many fields including chemistry, electronics, and atomic physics.
Quantum numbers are typically represented using the symbol n, which ranges from 0 to infinity, with n being an integer. Each quantum number n represents a specific property or characteristic of a particle, such as its position, momentum, energy,
