Question
In which orbital is the angular momentum of an electron zero?(a) $2 \mathrm{p}$(b) $2 \mathrm{~s}$(c) $3 \mathrm{~d}$(d) $4 \mathrm{f}$
Step 1
Step 1: The angular momentum of an electron in an atom is given by the formula $L = \sqrt{l(l+1)} \times \hbar$, where $l$ is the azimuthal quantum number and $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck's constant. Show more…
