To which orbital among the following may an electron having zero angular momentum belong?

  1. A \(3 s\)
  2. B \(3 p\)
  3. C \(3 d\)
  4. D \(4 f\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 s\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know, Angular momentum of an electron in particular orbital will be \(=\sqrt{l(l+1)} \frac{h}{2 \pi}\) If angular momentum \(=0\) then, \(l(l+l)=0\) So, \(l\) must be equal to zero \(s\)-orbital has \(l=0\) \(\therefore 3 s\) is correct answer.
