An electron has spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. For the 4 d electron in scandium, what percent of its total orbital angular momentum is its spin angular momentum in the z direction?

Expert Solution

4d electron in scandium has: n=4 and l=2(angular quantum number)

Formula for orbital angular momentum is:

---------------------------1

Formula for Spin angular momentum is:

--------------------------------------2

Therefore percentage of spin angular momentum in total angular momentum is:

Divide equation 2 by 1 and then multiply by 100 and you will get your answer.

Happy Learning...:D

The orbital angular momentum is a 3D vector. For an electron at a state associated with quantum numbers (?, ?, ??), the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum is √?(? + 1) ℏ. The orbital angular momentum measured along the z axis, however, will be exactly ??ℏ. For a real orbital that combines two complex orbitals associated with two different ?? values, a measurement along the z axis will result in either of the two ?? values with an equal...
