The orbital angular momentum of an electron in`2s`orbital is

A

`+ (1)/(2)(h)/(2pi)`

B

Zero

C

`(h)/(2pi)`

D

`sqrt(2)(h)/(2pi)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The orbital angular momentum is `(h)/(2pi) sqrt(l(l + 1))`
The orbital angular momentum for an electron in s orbital `(l = 0) is 0`
