{wiki=Azimuthal_quantum_number}
The azimuthal quantum number, also known as the angular momentum quantum number or orbital quantum number, is denoted by the symbol \\( l \\). It is one of the four quantum numbers used to describe the quantum state of an electron in an atom. Here's a summary of its key features: 1. **Definition**: The azimuthal quantum number defines the shape of the electron's orbital and is related to the angular momentum of the electron in that orbital.
