Nuclear quantum numbers

Nuclear quantum numbers are values used in physics to describe the properties and behaviors of particles inside an atomic nucleus, such as protons and neutrons. They help us understand how these particles are arranged, interact, and move within the nucleus. These numbers are essential in quantum mechanics because they define specific states or configurations of nucleons (protons/neutrons), similar to how quantum numbers describe electrons in an atom. Overall, nuclear quantum numbers provide a systematic way to characterize the structure and energy levels of the nucleus at a fundamental level.
