s orbital

Orbital shape can be spherical {s orbital}, with zero crossing points. Because spheres are radially symmetric, with electron orbits in all directions and so filling space, spherical orbits have no net orientation, so no interaction with spin makes added angular momentum 0. There can only be one kind of spherical orbital, because it must have radial symmetry.
