Four Quantum Numbers

Every electron has has a set of four numbers called Quantum Numbers. They are
Principal Quantum number (n)
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l)-
Magnetic Quantum Number (m)

Spin Quantum Number(+1/2 and -1/2) 

"n"  tells you the energy level of the electron.
"l" is the sublevel
"ml" tells you which orbital its in
"m" tells you if the electron is going to have a positive or negative 1/2 spin


Their important because describe the typres of electrons on their
