For an electron in a hydrogen atom, the minimum orbital angular momentum is given by
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr's atomic model, the orbital angular momentum of an electron in a hydrogen atom is quantized and is given by
where
For the minimum orbital angular momentum, the principal quantum number must be minimum, i.e., .
L_{\text\min} = \dfrac{h}{2\pi}
