Question

An atom has completely filled inner shells and a single valence electron in an excited p state. The filled inner shells have an orbital momentum equal to zero. What is the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum L of the atom

Answer 1

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lz=projection of L vector on the direction of the magnetic field

l=-1: theta=135 deg

l=0: theta=90 deg

l=1: theta=45 deg
