What is the difference between angular momentum of an electron present in 3p orbital from that of an electron present in 4p orbital ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The angular momentum (mvr) of an electron `=(h)/(2 pi) sqrt(l(l+1))`
From the above relation, it is quite clear that the angular momentum of an electron is no way linked with the principal quantum number (n). Therefore, there will be no difference in the angular momentum of the two electrons.
