    The values allowed for the four quantum numbers such as;

    n = [1 to 8]

    l = [0 to n-1]

    ml = [-l to + l]

    ms = [-1/2 to + 1/2]

    Explanation:

    The quantum numbers defines the movement and trajection of an electron and it defines the electronic configuration of an atom. n, l, ml, ms are the four quantum numbers and n is the principal quantum number, l is the orbital angular momentum quantum number, ml is the magnetic quantum number, ms is the electronic spin quantum number. 'n' explains the distance of an electron from the nucleus and it jumps to the higher states by absorbing energy at each state. 'l' determines the shape and angular position of an electron. 'ml' explains the number of orbits and its magnetic movement with a sub-shell. 'ms' determines the direction of electron spin and the positive value projects it as a upward spin and negative value project it as a downward spin.
