Question

The angular momentum of the electron is defined by the quantum number that is denoted as.

• A. $n$
• B. $l$
• C. $s$
• D. $m$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $l$

• The angular momentum of the electron is defined by the quantum number that is denoted as. $l.$ it is also referred to as the secondary quantum number or the azimuthal quantum number that describes the shape of the orbital that an electron occupies.
• The lowest possible value of $l$ is $0$, and its highest possible value, depending on the principal quantum number, is $n-1$.

Hence option B is the correct answer.
