Question

The z-component of angular momentum of an electron in as orbital is given as :

• A. m($\frac{h}{8\pi }$)
• B. m($\frac{h}{4\pi }$)
• C. m($\frac{h}{2\pi }$)
• D. m($\frac{h}{16\pi }$)

Answer 1

The correct option is C m($\frac{h}{2\pi }$)

The angular momentum of an electron in a orbital is $\sqrt{l(l+1)}$(h/2$\pi$) and z-component of angular momentum of an electron in an orbital is m($\frac{h}{2\pi }$).
