Principal quantum number (n) is a quantum number that is used to describe the energy and size of an electron orbital in an atom. It also indicates the relative distance from the nucleus. As the value of n increases, the energy level of the electron also increases, and the electron is found at a greater distance from the nucleus.
Note:
Quantum numbers are a set of numbers used to describe the position and energy of an electron in an atom. It is used to designate and distinguish the various atomic orbitals and electrons present in an atom.
