4 quantum numbers
n, l, ml, ms
spin number
m(s) = +1/2 or -1/2 based on direction of final electron
angular momentum quantum number
l = # nodal planes
principle quantum number
n = shell #
magnetic quantum number
m(l) = orientation in space of orbital
ionization energy
energy needed to remove electron from atom (decreases as you go down a column because elements are becoming larger and less energy is needed to remove an electron that is farther away from the attracting nucleus. Increases as you go left to right across a row because more energy is needed to remove an electron that is being attracted by a greater nuclear charge)
