On Azimuthal Quantum Number?

The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital

atomic orbital
History. The term "orbital" was coined by Robert Mulliken in 1932 as an abbreviation for one-electron orbital wave function.

that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

How do you find azimuthal quantum number?

Azimuthal Quantum Number
  1. For a given value of n, it can have any integral value ranging from 0 to n – 1.
  2. For the 1st Shell, say K, n =1, you can have only one value i.e. l = 0.
  3. For the 2nd Shell, say L, n = 2, you can have two values i.e. l = 0 and 1.

What is azimuthal quantum number example?

The azimuthal (or orbital angular momentum) quantum number describes the shape of a given orbital. ... For example, if n =3, the azimuthal quantum number can take on the following values – 0,1, and 2. When l=0, the resulting subshell is an 's' subshell.
