The angular momentum of an electron is zero. In which orbital may it be present?

A

`2s`

B

`2p`

C

`4f`

D

`5f`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Orbitals angular momentum is given by the following relation:
`sqrt(l(l +1)) -(h)/(2pi)`
It is zero if and only if `l = 0, `i.e., it is zero for all `s` orbitals.
