Question 12

Orbital angular momentum depends on...........

(a) l (b) n and l (c) n and m (d) m and s

Open in App
Solution

Orbital angular momentum mvr=h2πl(l+1).

Hence, it depends only on 'l'. l can have values ranging from 0 to (n-1)

(a) When l = 0, the subshell is s and orbital is spherical in shape.

(b) When l = 1, the subshell is p and orbital is dumb - bell shaped

(c) When l = 2, the subshell is d and orbital is double dumb-bell shaped.

(d) When l = 3, the subshell is f and orbital is complicated in shape.
