A quantum nomber is a number used to parametrise certain properties of particles or other systems in quantum mechanics.
Any of a set of real numbers assigned to a physical system that individually characterize the properties and collectively specify the state of a particle or of the system.

Do you mean quatum number?
If so:
A quantum number describes the energies of electrons in atoms. Each quantum number specifies the value of a conserved quantity in the dynamics of the quantum system. Since any quantum system can have one or more quantum numbers, it is a futile job to list all possible quantum numbers.

There are many quantum numbers. The period that an atom is located is a quantum number. it's spin is also a quantum number. Even the orbital it's in is another quantum number
