Orbital angular momentum depends on .........

Options

A. l
B. n and l
C. n and m
D. m and s

Answer

A

Explanation

Orbital angular momentum `mvr = (h)/(2pi) sqrt(1(l+1))`
Hence, it depends only on '/' lean have values ranging from 0 to `(n-1)`.
(a) When `l = 0`, the subshell is s and orbital is spherical in shape.
(b) When `l = 1`, the subshell is pand orbital is dumb-bell shaped.
(c) When `l = 2`, the subshell i sd and orbital is double dumb-bell shaped.
(d) Which `l = 3`, the subshell is f and orbital is complicated in shape
