∵ Angular momentum =√l(l+1)(h/2π ) If angular momentum of an electron is zero then the value of l is also zero, therefore the electron may be present in s-orbital i.e. 2 s-orbital

$∵$ Angular momentum $= l (l + 1) \frac{h}{2 π}$ If angular momentum of an electron is zero then the value of $l$ is also zero, therefore the electron may be present in s-orbital i.e. 2 s-orbital
