How do I find "n" (principal quantum number)
« on: November 02, 2008, 04:21:27 PM »
How do I determine the integer value for the principal quantum number "n"?  Let's say i'm trying to find "n" for Gallium.  How would I do that? 

Thanks  :)

are you talking about the highest n?
that's the number of the period
