Question

the orbital angular momentum of a p electron is given as​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Explanation:

Orbital angular momentum is given by the formula given below:

L=\sqrt{\frac{l(l+1)}{2 \pi}} hL=

2π

l(l+1)

h

We know that, for a ‘p’ electron, l = 1

Putting in the formula,

L=\sqrt{\frac{1(1+1)}{2 \pi}} h=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 \pi}}L=

2π

1(1+1)

h=

2π

h

Also, if you wish to calculate the angular momentum of an electron, it can be further calculated by using the Bohr’s formula which is given by mvrmvr

Where,

m = mass of an electron,

v = velocity of an electron,

r = radius of the nth orbit.

Another formula for calculation of angular momentum is \frac{nh}{2\pi}

2π

nh

.

Where,

n = Principal quantum number

h = Planck’s constant
