The electron travels around the nucleus in orbits called what?

They have many names. Common ones are orbitals or energy levels.


Electrons move around the nucleus in paths called what?

Orbitals. Not to be confused with orbits. They don't actually move in 'paths' either. Due to their nature, you cannot determine the exact location of an electron and still know where it will be next. (See "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle") Orbitals actually are mathematical functions which describe the probability of finding an electron in a given space.

What do s p d f stands for in the electron distribution mnemonics?

The orbital names s, p, d, and fstand for names given to groups of lines in the spectra of the alkali metals. These line groups are called sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.


What is the name for p orbitals?

The "names" assigned to p orbitals are x y z so since there are 3 orbitals in the p orbital, _ _ _ x y z similarly for d orbitals there are 5 _ _ _ _ _ x y xy yz xz i tried to label properly, but on a test, that is how they should be labelled.


Compare the four types of orbitals?

On any level, a single s sublevel exists by itself, containing two electrons. However, the other three sublevels are actually composed of three or more sublevel orbitals. On any level, a p sublevel is actually made up of a group of three orbitals. Similarly, d sublevels are made up of a group of five orbitals, and f sublevels are composed of a group of seven orbitals.


In quantum theory-What are the names of the 4 layers of orbitals indicated by single letter character-and where electrons migrate from one to another?

The four orbitals are: s, p, d and f.They are also known as sub-shells of the atom.


Which of the orbital namely 1p2s2p and 3f are not possible give reason of your answer?

The orbital 1p2s2p is not possible because the electron configuration notation generally does not include numbers in the orbital names. The notation should typically follow the format: principal energy level (n) followed by the subshell letter (s, p, d, f) and the number of electrons in that subshell. The orbital 3f is not possible in the electron configuration scheme for elements up to and including the actinide series. The "f" orbitals appear in the lanthanide and actinide series, but for elements in the main periodic table, the "f" orbitals are not included.
