angular momentum quantum numbers

In spectroscopy: Angular momentum quantum numbers
The number l, called the orbital quantum number, must be less than the principal quantum number n, which corresponds to a “shell” of electrons. Thus, l divides each shell into n subshells consisting of all electrons of the same principal and orbital quantum numbers.

In chemical bonding: Quantum numbers
…number needed to specify an orbital is denoted l and called the orbital angular momentum quantum number. This quantum number has no role in determining the energy in a hydrogen atom. It represents the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum of the electron around the nucleus. In classical terms, as…
