How many electrons can fit in each of the p orbital electron clouds?
Maximum of two in each of the p orbital. there are three p orbitals (px, py and pz)
How many half-filled orbitals are there in a carbon atom?
Looking at the electron configuration of carbon (at. no. 6) you have 1s2 2s2 2p2. In the 2 p subshell, you have 1 electron in the 2px orbital, and 1 electron in the 2py orbital and no electrons in the 2pz orbital. So, the answer is that there are TWO half filled orbitals in the carbon atom. This is the case BEFORE hybridization. After hybridization, there are FOUR half filled orbitals which are called sp3 hybrids.
How many atomic orbitals must be mixed to make the sp2 hybrid orbital?
five atomic orbitals must be mixed into one ; one s orbital; three p orbital; one d orbital, forming sp3d orbital
How many p electrons are possible in any orbital?
6 electrons can ocupy the 2p, 3p, 4p, and so on. each p subshell has 3 orbitals, and each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, so each p subshell can hold up to 6 electrons total.
If the s and p orbitals of the highest main energy level of an atom are filled with electrons then what does the atom have?
If the S orbital has two electrons and the P orbital has six you go on to the D orbital. Electron energy levels follow this format: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 4p6 4d10 and so on
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
What are paired electrons?
Pi electron pairs are electron pairs residing in the p orbital (as in s, p, d, f). This is the electron orbital responsible for double bonds and conjugated molecules according to molecular orbital theory.
What is a p bond and delocalised p orbital?
p bonds are covalent chemical bonds where the orbital path of an electron crosses with the path of another
Whose electron affinite is large s orbital or p?
s-orbital more affinity to electrons than p when 'empty'
How many electrons can fit in each of the p orbital electron clouds?
Maximum of two in each of the p orbital. there are three p orbitals (px, py and pz)
The sp3d2 atomic hybrid orbital set accommodates how many electron PAIRS?
there r 2 electrons in the s orbital, their r 6 electrons in p orbital , their r 10 electron's in the d orbital and 14 electrons in f orbital.
How many electrons can p orbitals hold?
It hold 6 thre p orbital (Px Py Pz) and each one hold two so total is six electron can p orbital
What is auger effect?
When photons of sufficient energy are incident on a surface, an electron is ejected out from the core shell. The electron from the p-orbital or any other orbital of higher energy loses that much energy to fill up the gap created by the loss of this core electron. The energy lost by the p-orbital electron is absorbed by another electron in the same or higher shell, causing it to eject from the atom. This second atom is called the "Auger electron" and the effect is called Auger effect.
If an electron is in the second energy level in which type of orbitals could this electron be in?
If an electron is in the second principle energy level, that is, n = 2, then that electron could be in an s or p orbital.
