The orbital angular momentum (L) of an electron can be determined Using the formula:
L=l(l+1)2πh
Where l is the azimuthal quantum number (orbital angular momentum quantum number) and h is the Planck's constant.
For a 3s orbital, the principal quantum number (n) is 3 and the azimuthal quantum number (l) is 0, as s orbitals have l=0. Now, let's calculate the orbital angular momentum:
L=0(0+1)2πh= 0
Thus, the orbital angular momentum of an electron in a 3s orbital is 0. So, the value of x is 0.
