How does a 2px differ from a 2py orbital?

They are perpendicular to each other on the three-dimensional axes.

2s, 2p. 2s contains 1 orbital, the 2p sublevel contains 3 orbitals 2px 2py, 2pz where the suffix is the direction the orbital lies in, 2px lies on the x axis.


What are the postulates of molecular orbit theory?

Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT):&acirc;&euro;&cent;Basic idea of MOT is that atomic orbitals of individual atoms combine toform molecular orbitals. Electrons in molecule are present in themolecular orbitals which are associated with several nuclei.&acirc;&euro;&cent;The molecular orbital formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is calledthe bonding molecular orbital (s ).&acirc;&euro;&cent;The molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of atomic orbital is calledanti-bonding molecular orbital (s*).&acirc;&euro;&cent;The sigma (s ) molecular orbitals are symmetrical around the bond-axiswhile pi (p ) molecular orbitals are not symmetrical.&acirc;&euro;&cent;Sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals changes for diatomicmolecules like Li2, Be2, B2, C2, N2 is 1s < *1s < 2s< *2s < ( 2px = 2py)


What element has a configuration of 1s 2s 2px 2py 2pz 3s 3px 3py 3pz 4s?

You need to state how many atoms are in the 4s. I.e. is it 4s1 i.e. Potassium, or 4s2 i.e. calcium


In earth chemistry which elements has the same number of electron orbitals as the element sodium?

Sodium and calcium each have the same number of orbitals. These two elements (in their neutral, ground state) have 6 electron orbitals: 1s, 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz, 3s.


What is the valence shell for nitrogen?

Nitrogen (N) has atomic number 7. It has full 1s and 2s orbitals. The 2px orbital has 1 electron, the 2py orbital has 1 electron and the 2pz orbital has 1 electron. So the valence shell is: 2s2 - 2p3. It contains 5 electrons.


Why mot diagram for n2 and o2 molecules is different?

Energy difference in N2 2s orbital and 2Px orbital is very low due to which they mix with each other.2s give its energy to 2Px, 2Px gain more energy and became unstable and increase its energy, and jump above on the 2Pz, 2Py orbitals in MOT diagram.now ALL 4 atomic orbitals i.e 2s sigma, 2s sigma star ,2Px sigma,2Px sigma star donot have thier own pure characters. other orbitals donot take part in mixingNOTE:this phenomena is for elements having atomic number up to 7OXYGEN have atomic number 8. it energy differences b/w orbitals is large.That's why its MOT diagram is different.


Which is an acceptable Lewis structure for a diatomic nitrogen molecule?

Atomic nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and 4 valence orbitals (2s, 2px, 2py, and 2pz). In the Lewis structure there is a triple bond between the nitrogen atoms and non-bonding pair of electrons on each. This consist with the physical properties of N2.


How does this row reflect the subshells of the second shell?

The second period (row) on the periodic table consists of elements that are filling the 2nd energy level, from 2s1 in lithium to 2s22p6 in neon.
