    The highest probability an electron resides in can be explained by 4 types of quantum numbers.

    First is the principal quantum number - n, this is the energy level / shell that electrons reside in.

    Next is the angular momentum quantum number - l, this describes the subshells, the types of orbitals in the corresponding energy level.

    values for l are from 0 to n-1

    third is magnetic quantum number - m - that gives the orientations of the orbitals and the specific orbitals in the subshells.

    fourth is spin quantum number - s - gives the spin of the electrons in the orbital.

    when n = 4, values of l are from 0 to n - 1

    since n - 1 - - - > 4 - 1 - - - > 3

    values of l are 0,1,2,3
