Question 12
Orbital angular momentum depends on...........
(a) l (b) n and l (c) n and m (d) m and s
Orbital angular momentum mvr=h2π√l(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.
