📚 The hydrogen atom is the simplest and most abundant of all elements in the Universe. In this video, we explore the energy eigenvalues of the hydrogen atom. We discuss the principal, azimuthal, and magnetic quantum numbers, as well as the associated eigenvalue degeneracies. We also introduce the concepts of atomic shell and atomic subshell, and describe the widely used spectroscopic notation.
