Question

the orbital angular momentum of an electron present in 3p orbital is
1)√2h, 2)zero, 3)√6h, 4) 2√2h

​

Answer 1

Answer

Option 1 is correct.

Explanation:

So basically orbital angular momentum quantum no. of any orbital is represented by symbol (l).

And we all commonly use the term azimuthal quantum number.

The, l of p orbitals is 1,

Therefore l of 3p is also (1).

And magnitude of orbital angular momentum is h/2Π ×√l(l+1)

Ans = h/2Π×√1(1+1)

=h/2Π× √2

You can calculate further.

Thanks.
