The orbital angular momentum of an electron is 2 s orbital is
Options
- Ah 4 π
- Bzero
- Ch 2 π
- D2 · h 2 π
Correct answer
B. zero
Step-by-step solution
For s -subshell l = 0 Orbital angular momentum ( mvr ) = h 2 π l ( l + 1 ) For 2 s orbital, l (azimuthal quantum number) = 0 ∴ orbital angular momentum = h 2 π 0 ( 0 + 1 ) = h 2 π 0 = 0 Thus, the orbital angular momentum of an electron in 2 s -orbital is Zero.
