Question

What does the angular momentum quantum number determine? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are options 1, 5 and 7. Angular momentum quantum number determine the energy of an orbital, the shape of the orbital and the overall size of an orbital. Hope this answers the question.

Answer 2

Answer

The shape of the orbital

Explanation

The angular momentum quantum number is the quantum number responsible for angular momentum of an atomic electron. It determines the shape of the electron’s orbital. For example, A p orbital is associated with an angular momentum quantum number 1.This is to mean that it tells about which sub-shells are present in the principal shell.
