What is the difference between the notations L and l.

⇛L represents second Bohr orbit for which n=2. On the other hand l denotes azimuthal quantum number which may have values 0,1,2 etc. Shapes of various sub-shells present within the same principle shell number of sub-shells in a certain shell and their relative energies etc.depend on the values of 'l'.

For example,in case of s,p,d & f sub-shells, the value of l are 0,1,2 & 3 respectively.
