question 2 (2 points)
what does the angular momentum quantum number describe?
spin of the electron
shape
size
orientation in space

Explanation:

The angular momentum quantum number (\(l\)) is related to the shape of the atomic orbital. For example, when \(l = 0\) (s - orbital), it is spherical in shape; when \(l=1\) (p - orbital), it has a dumb - bell shape. The spin of the electron is described by the spin quantum number (\(m_s\)). The principal quantum number (\(n\)) is related to the size (energy level) of the orbital. The magnetic quantum number (\(m_l\)) is related to the orientation of the orbital in space.

Answer:

shape
