To which orbital among the following may an electron having zero angular momentum belong?
Options
- A3 s
- B3 p
- C3 d
- D4 f
Correct answer
A. 3 s
Step-by-step solution
We know, Angular momentum of an electron in particular orbital will be = l(l+1) h 2 If angular momentum =0 then, l(l+l)=0 So, l must be equal to zero s -orbital has l=0 3 s is correct answer.
