Q27 / 225 · JEE Main 2003 · Chemistry

The orbital angular momentum for an electron revolving in an orbit is given by $\sqrt{l(l+1)} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}$. This momentum for an s-electron will be given by

  • Correct answer
    A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}$
  • D
    $+\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\mathrm{h}}{2 \pi}$

Solution

For s-electron, $l=0 \quad \therefore$ angular momentum $=$ zero

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
