| The shape of an atomic orbital is associated with....? | the angular momentum quantum number (l). |
| The orientation in space of an atomic orbital is associated with...? | the magnetic quantum number (ml). |
| Atomic orbitals developed using quantum mechanics describe what? | describe regions of space in which one is most likely to find an electron |
