Azimuthal Quantum Number: Shaping Electron Orbits

The video tutorial explains the azimuthal quantum number, which helps in understanding the splitting of spectral lines into fine spectra due to sub shells or orbitals in energy levels. It describes how the azimuthal quantum number, represented by L, determines the shape of orbitals and their electron capacity. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, including the calculation of maximum electrons in orbitals using the 2L+1 equation. The tutorial also covers the quantized angular momentum of electrons in atoms.

How many orbitals are present in the M shell and what are their types?

What is the formula for calculating the maximum number of electrons in a sub shell?

What is the relationship between the azimuthal quantum number and the angular momentum of an electron?
