Question

Angular momentum of electron in the second excited
state of hydrogen atom is ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The angular momentum of an electron present in the excited state of Hydrogen is 1.5 h/π .

Answer 2

Angular momentum of electron in the second excited  state of hydrogen atom is ​$\frac{h}{\pi }$

Explanation:

• Hydrogen atom is an atom with single electron present in it.
• In hydrogen atom,the electron is present in K shell closer to the nucleus.
• To find angular momentum,the equation used is,$\[L=\frac{nh}{2\pi }\]$.
• Here 'L' is angular momentum and 'n' is the principal quantum number of a particular state.
• Given that the electron is excited to second excited state.
• So $n=2$.
• Substituting the values in the above equation and solving we get,$\[L=\frac{2h}{2\pi }=\frac{h}{\pi }\]$.
