Orbital angular momentum depends on?

Answer»

<P>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.
