The orbital angular momentum for an electron revolving in an orbit is given by 
. This momentum for an s-electron will be given by
A
+ 
. 
.
B
Zero
C
D
. 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The value of λ (azimuthal quantum number) for s -electron is equal to zero.
Orbital angular momentum = 
. 
Substituting the value of l for s-electron = 
. 
= 0
