Question

what is the value of the azimuthal quantum number (l) for an electron in the 5s orbital?

Explanation:

The azimuthal quantum number (\(l\)) describes the shape of an orbital. For an \(s\) orbital, the value of \(l = 0\). In the \(5s\) orbital, the principal quantum number \(n=5\), but the azimuthal quantum number \(l\) is determined by the type of orbital (\(s\) in this case).

Answer:

\(0\)
