the energy of an orbital

the energy of the electron on the outer shell

the overall size of an atom

the possible number of electrons on particular orbital

the shape of the orbital

the orientation of the orbital

the overall size of an orbital

Verified Answer :

I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are options 1, 5 and 7. Angular momentum quantum number determine the energy of an orbital, the shape of the orbital and the overall size of an orbital. Hope this answers the question.

Answer

The shape of the orbital


Explanation

The angular momentum quantum number is the quantum number responsible for angular momentum of an atomic electron. It determines the shape of the electron’s orbital. For example, A p orbital is associated with an angular momentum quantum number 1.This is to mean that it tells about which sub-shells are present in the principal shell.
