The correct answer is: angular momentum of electron
Azimuthal quantum number defines the spatial distribution of electron cloud and angular mementum.
e.g.
$$
\begin{aligned}
& l=0, \\
& l=1, \\
& l=2
\end{aligned}
$$
$s$ - subsehll
$p-$ subshell
$d-$ subshell
Orbital angular momentum of an electron is calculated using the expression.
$$
=\sqrt{l(l+1)} \frac{h}{2 \pi}
$$
