angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
if the angular speed of an object increase its angular momentum will also increase
angular momentum = linear momentum (of object) x perpendicular distance (from origin to the object) where x stands for cross product. angular momentum = mv x r (perpendicular dist.)
momentum is product of moment of inertia and angular velocity. There is always a 90 degree phase difference between velocity and acceleration vector in circular motion therefore angular momentum and acceleration can never be parallel
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.
