Atomic Structure - Result Question 54

####30. The orbital angular momentum of an electron in $2 s$-orbital is

(a) $+\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{h}{2 \pi}$

(b) zero

(c) $\frac{h}{2 \pi}$

(d) $\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{h}{2 \pi}$

(1996, 1M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Expression for orbital angular momentum $(L)$ is

$$ L=\sqrt{l(l+1)} \frac{h}{2 \pi}=0 \text { for } 2 s \text {-electrons } $$

$\because \quad$ For $s$-orbital, $l=0$.
