The man who first suggested orbitals (in their most primitive form) was Neils Bohr - the concept has been improved upon since him however.
The valence electrons in main group elements are typically found in the s and p orbitals. Group 1 and 2 elements have valence electrons in s orbitals, while groups 13-18 elements have valence electrons in both s and p orbitals.
The type of hybrid orbitals found in graphite and diamond are called 'sp3 hybrid' orbitals. These orbitals are composed of 1 s and 3 p orbitals.
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.
In the principal energy level n = 3, there are s, p, and d orbitals. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, and the d sublevel has 5 orbitals. These orbitals can hold up to a total of 18 electrons.
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
The valence electrons of an atom are found in the outermost orbitals, typically the s and p orbitals. For main group elements, this generally means the highest energy s and p orbitals, such as the valence shell configurations in the form of ns and np. For transition metals, the d orbitals may also be considered as participating in bonding. Therefore, the valence electrons are primarily located in the outermost s and p orbitals.
Valence electrons can be found in the s and p orbitals in an atom. The s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the p orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons. This arrangement allows for a maximum of 8 valence electrons in an atom.
Hybridized orbitals do not extend further from the nucleus than the s or p orbitals from which they originate. Hybrid orbitals are localized around the nucleus similar to s and p orbitals. Hybrid orbitals combine characteristics of the original s and p orbitals to form specific geometries required for bonding.
Each main energy level (1 to 7) has at least an s-orbital, p-orbitals are possible from the second level onwards (2 to 7) d-orbitals from 4th level f-orbitals from 6th level
If the question is an attempt to ask "How many orbitals are there with principal quantum number n = 2", then 4 orbitals which can hold a total of 8 electrons.
The maximum number of S orbitals possible is 1. S orbitals have a spherical shape and can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
yes, because the the s orbitals;wave crosses the x axis
