The first quantum number, also known as the principal quantum number (n), represents the energy level of an electron in an atom. For the 3p¹ electron in aluminum, which has the electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹, the first quantum number is 3, indicating that this electron is in the third energy level.
