Question

List all possible values of the angular momentum quantum number / for an electron in the K (n=1) shell of an atom.

Answer 1

0

Step-by-step explanation

The angular momentum quantum number relies entirely on the quantum number, so when we have this information, the only thing we need to do is subtract one from it.

e.g. n = 3, l (angular momentum quantum number) = 2 or 1 or 0

n = 2, l = 1 or 0

n = 1, l could only be 0
