Azimuthal quantum number is describes the shape of the orbitals. It is denoted by 'l', is the quantum number associated with the angular momentum of an atomic electron. ( It describes the subshell energy level ). Orbitals have shapes that are best described as spherical ( l=0 ), the polar ( l=1) and cloverleaf (l=2). The values of l ranges from 0 to n-1.
l = 0,1,2,3,......n-1
l=0 is called s orbital.
l=1 is called p orbital.
l=2 is called d orbital.
l=3 is called f orbital.
If n=1, l=0 ( 1 sub level ) s orbital.
n=2, l=0 and 1 ( 2 sub level ) p orbital.
n=3, l=0,1 and 2 ( 3 sub level ) d orbital.
n=4, l=0,1,2 and 3 ( 4 sub level ) f orbital.
The energy of the subshell increases with ( s á p á d á f ).
Azimuthal quantum number otherwise known as subsidiary or angular quantum number or orbital quantum number.
