2025 · 3 Apr · Shift 2 · Q17

JEE MainChemistryStructure of AtomMCQ+4 / −1
For electrons in ' 2 s ' and ' 2 p ' orbitals, the orbital angular momentum values, respectively are :
  1. A
    0 and 6h2π\sqrt{6} \frac{h}{2 \pi}6​2πh​

View written solutionFree

Correct answer: B

  1. Use the formula for orbital angular momentum

For an electron in an orbital with azimuthal quantum number lll, the magnitude of orbital angular momentum is

L=l(l+1) h2πL = \sqrt{l(l+1)}\,\frac{h}{2\pi}L=l(l+1)​2πh​

  1. For the 2s2s2s orbital

For an sss-orbital,

l=0l=0l=0

So,

L=0(0+1) h2π=0L = \sqrt{0(0+1)}\,\frac{h}{2\pi} = 0L=0(0+1)​2πh​=0

Thus, for 2s2s2s orbital, orbital angular momentum is

000

  1. For the 2p2p2p orbital

For a ppp-orbital,

l=1l=1l=1

So,

L=1(1+1) h2π=2 h2πL = \sqrt{1(1+1)}\,\frac{h}{2\pi} = \sqrt{2}\,\frac{h}{2\pi}L=1(1+1)​2πh​=2​2πh​

Thus, for 2p2p2p orbital, orbital angular momentum is

2 h2π\sqrt{2}\,\frac{h}{2\pi}2​2πh​

  1. Match with the options

So the values for electrons in 2s2s2s and 2p2p2p orbitals, respectively, are:

0 and 2 h2π0 \text{ and } \sqrt{2}\,\frac{h}{2\pi}0 and 2​2πh​

This matches Option B.

  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer = B

Our derived answer = B

Hence, they agree.
