The principal quantum number for electrons confined in atoms, for example, indicates the energy state and the probability of finding the electrons at various distances from the nucleus. The larger the principal quantum number, which has integral values beginning with one, the greater the energy is and the farther the electron is likely to be from the nucleus.
