Question

Orbital angular momentum depends on?

Answer 1

Answer: Orbital angular momentum depends on the value of azimuthal quantum number.

Explanation:

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

The orbital angular momentum of an electron is given by:

$\sqrt{l(l+1)}\frac{h}{2\pi}$

l = azimuthal quantum number

h = plank's constant

Thus Orbital angular momentum depends on the value of azimuthal quantum number i.e the value of l.

Answer 2

Orbital angular momentum depends on on the value of l ,azimuthal quantum number

Explanation:

• Orbital angular momentum is also known as  azimuthal quantum number.

• It is denoted by symbol letter 'l'

• The azimuthal quantum number is quantum number which gives the clear picture of  the shape of a given orbital.

• The value of azimuthal quantum number that it  is equal to the total number of angular nodes in the orbital.

• Azimuthal quantum number have a certain value which indicates either an s, p, d, or f subshell which vary in shape.
• it represents the angular momentum which depends on the rotational velocity of an object and rotational inertia.

• The sum of the orbital angular moment from each of the electrons  is the total orbital angular momentum.
