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.
As omnivores, rats eat anything from meat to mushrooms to melons. Store-bought rat pellets should make up 90 percent of your pet rat's diet, but fruits and vegetables can make up to 10 percent of their calories, according to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Michigan State University.
