Azimuthal quantum number
text:
In quantum mechanics, the azimuthal quantum number ℓ is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes aspects of the angular shape of the orbital. The azimuthal quantum number is the second of a set of quantum numbers that describe the unique quantum state of an electron. For a given value of the principal quantum number n, the possible values of ℓ are the integers from 0 to n − 1. For instance, the n = 1 shell has only orbitals with ℓ = 0 , an
