Question

Explain the significance of azimuthal quantun mumber

Answer 1

The azimuthal quantum number is a quantun number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital. The azimuthal quantum number is the second of a set of quantum numbers which describe the unique quantum number of an electron (the others being the principal quantum number, following  spectroscopic notation, the   magnetic quantum number, and the spin Quantum number). It is also known as the orbital angular momentum quantum number, orbital quantum number or second quantum number, and is symbolized as ℓ.
