I've replaced the term state with the more appropriate orbital, as state refers to the combined condition of all the electrons in the atom, rather than the one (or two) in the orbital.--Ian 08:21, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Contradiction with Electron shell
Please go to Talk:Electron shell#Contradiction with Azimuthal quantum number.
the azimuthal quantum number maybe could be merged with the orbital angular momentum quantum number as they are the same thing! agreed67.70.129.22 19:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Contradictory sentences in history section.
In the history section, is the following:
"Bohr argued that the angular momentum in any orbit n was nKh, where h is Planck's constant and K is some multiplying factor, the same for all the orbits, which was later determined to be 1/2π. The lowest quantum level therefore had an angular momentum of zero."
Since the lowest value for n is 1, we get L = h/2π, not zero.
The last sentence makes no sense, since according to the first sentence the angular momentum was not zero.
This should be sorted out, as the two sentences totally contradict each other.
