Hi, I am taking chemistry as an undergraduate.

I don't understand how to approach the topic in the title, like how to approach the following:

"What are the four sets of quantum numbers that represent each electron in a ground-state Be atom?"

I am told that each set has to be in the format, "n=, [some l shaped looking symbol]=, [m with that same l shaped symbol as a number next to it but kind of below], and [m with an s next to it but kind of below]'

What do I do I tried studying this topic for two weeks and my tutors aren't available unfortunately.

Aside from the way they are written, what don't you understand about n, L, m_L, and m_s quantum numbers?
