"l" is known as the angular momentum quantum number.
Principal Quantum Number = n
Angular Momentum " " = l
Magnetic " " = ml
Spin " " = ms (Only possible values are 1/2 and -1/2)
Search "Permissible Values of Quantum Numbers for Atomic Orbitals" for the values. You basically have to understand the concepts & be able to recreate the chart for tests, otherwise you can blindly memorize it. The chart should be in your book.

What is the direction of angular momentum of circular disc?

Is the direction of angular velocity same as that of angular momentum when agular velocity is decreasing?
Yes, suppose a body is rotating anti-clockwise, then its angular velocity and angular momentum, at any moment are along axis of rotation in upward direction. And when body is rotating clockwise, its angular velocity and angular momentum are along axis of rotation in downward direction. This is regardless of the fact whether angular velocity of the body is increasing or decreasing.
What feature of an orbital is related to the angular momentum quantum number l?
An atomic orbital is a mathematical term signifying the characteristics of the 'orbit' or cloud created by movement of an electron or pair of electrons within an atom. Angular momentum, signified as l, defines the angular momentum of the orbital's path as opposed to values n and m which correspond with the orbital's energy and angular direction, respectively.
What is the direction of angular momentum?
Angular momentum of a rotating particle is defined as the moment of the linear momentum of the particle about that axis.It is perpendicular to the plane of rotation and parallel to the axis of rotation.
How does Quantum number indicates the energy level an electron is found?
Quantum numbers relate to electrons in that they denote the electrons angular momentum. Angular momentum is a vector, so it has a magnitude (1/2) and a direction (+ or -). Each orbital in an atom can only hold 2 electrons, and each electron will have a +1/2 spin and a -1/2 spin.
How the direction of angular momentum is given by right hand rule?
Angular momentum = r x p... That is position vector r, CROSSED (not multiplied) with momentum vector p. So, to find out the direction the angular momentum will act, take ur right hand, point your fingers in the direction of r, and "curl" (close/bend whatever u wanna call it) ur FINGERS (not thumb) towards p. New, whichever way ur thumb points, that is the direction of the angular momentum Hope that helped
What is the difference between angular velocity and angular momentum?
angular momentum and angular velocity
How can you find the direction of angular momentum if the position vector and force vector lie on the plane?
By finding the direction of angular velocity because it's always parallel to it.
Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
How angular momentum of the earth remain constant?
As there is no external torque acting on it, its angular momentum remains constant. This is according to the law of conservation of angular momentum
What is the difference between linear momentum and angular momentum?
angular mmtm is a cross product unlike linear momentum
What is the applications of angular momentum?
when we churn and make out butter milk out of curd, here we apply angular momentum ceiling fan is another example of angular momentum
