### Review of high.school quantum clarification

Hii! Did anyone understand the part where he said n(energy levels) cannot be numbers such as 1.24 or non integer values etc. ? I didnt quite understand that part?

Thanks!

The higher the atomic number of an atom is, the higher you go up the energy levels. Energy levels are counted as whole numbers starting from 1. The atom, Carbon, contains 6 electrons which can be fitted in 2 energy levels. But, the atom, Aluminum, contains 13 electrons which can be fitted in to 3 energy levels.
Energy levels are like the steps of a staircase. You can stand on one step and go up and down a stair but you cannot stand in between the steps. The same goes for electrons. They can occupy one energy level or another but not the space between energy levels.
