Each electron in an atom is described by four different quantum numbers. The first three (n, l, ml) specify the particular orbital of interest, and the fourth (ms) specifies how many electrons can occupy that orbital.able of Allowed Quantum Numbers. n l ml Number of orbitals Orbital Name Number of electrons 1 0 0 1 1s 2 2 0 0 1 2s 2 1 -1, 0, +1 3 2p 6 3 0 0 1 3s 2 1 -1, 0, +1 3 3p 6 2 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 5 3d 10 4 0 0 1 4s 2 1 -1, 0, +1 3 4p 6 2 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 5 4d 10 3 -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 7 4f 14.
Rat droppings are a key sign of a rat infestation; the mess and debris they leave in their wake is unmistakable. In addition to scattered nesting materials; debris from chewing, feeding and gnawing; rodents excrete urine and feces every few steps they take along their habitual paths of travel.
Mouse feces are commonly mistaken for cockroach or rat droppings. Mouse droppings are concentrated near breeding and nesting grounds, although they may also be seen in other areas of the house from time to time. Feces are also present near items that have been destroyed by mice during the nesting process.
