What else can I help you with?
Shape of sublevels?
's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird
What are the four orbitals called in an atom?
Answer: s, p, d, and f -orbitals, differing in 'shape'.
Is this true or false the electron probability cloud for atomic orbitals are spherical in shape?
It is true only for s-orbital which is spherical in shape. p-, f- and d- orbitals are not spherical in shape.
What are a set of orbitals that are dumbbell shape and directly along the y x and z axis?
p orbitals
Are all s orbitals the same size?
Yes, all s orbitals have the same size, regardless of the energy level they are in. This is because s orbitals are spherical in shape with the electron density focused around the nucleus.
What is the maximum number of S orbitals possible?
The maximum number of S orbitals possible is 1. S orbitals have a spherical shape and can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
Do s orbitals have nodes?
yes, because the the s orbitals;wave crosses the x axis
What letters are used to designate the types of orbitals?
The types of orbitals are designated by the letters s, p, d, and f. Each letter corresponds to a different shape and type of orbital: s orbitals are spherical, p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped, d orbitals have more complex shapes, and f orbitals are even more complex. These designations reflect the angular momentum quantum number, which determines the shape of the electron cloud around an atom.
Is all orbitals have the same shape yes or no?
Well... no. The probability density functions for different orbitals are different.It's important, though, to realize that the electron cloud as a whole is a superposition of the (somewhat arbitrarily) orthogonalized orbitals. In other words: all atoms are pretty much the same overall shape.
In what type of orbitals are the actinide and lanthanide electron found?
Actinide and lanthanide electrons are typically found in f-orbitals. These orbitals are part of the inner electron shells and have a distinctive shape compared to the s and p orbitals.
What is the subshell with a dumbbell shape?
The "p" subshell has a dumbbell shape. It consists of three orbitals (px, py, pz), each oriented along one of the three coordinate axes. The lobes of the dumbbell-shaped orbitals point in opposite directions.
How nature of orbitals affect ionization energy?
complexity of shapes of orbitals lead to increase in ionization energy. s orbital is spherical in shape, there is an equal tendency of finding an electron anywhere in the sphere so electron can easily be removed from gaseous atom. hence, ionization energy will be low. while in p orbitals dumb-bell shape provides a bit difficulty to occur electron everywhere with equal probability so it will lead to an increase in ionization energy.
