Answer:
The azimuthal (or orbital angular momentum) quantum number describes the shape of a given orbital. It is denoted by the symbol 'l' and its value is equal to the total number of angular nodes in the orbital. A value of the azimuthal quantum number can indicate either an s, p, d, or f subshell which vary in shapes.
