If there was no orbit the Earth would be floating around in space and there would be no life on it. The Sun's energy creates and sustain all forms of life on the planet.
's' and 'p' orbitals are only important in organic chemistry.
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
atomic orbitals and electron orbitals
Degenerate orbitals are orbitals which have the same energy in an atom.
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.
When two atomic orbitals interact, they produce two molecular orbitals.
In a krypton atom, the 3s and 3p atomic orbitals are degenerate, meaning they have the same energy. However, it’s important to note that the 3d orbitals are also considered to be at a similar energy level due to the overall electron configuration and shielding effects in the atom. The filled nature of lower energy orbitals contributes to this energy equivalence.
The number of hybrid orbitals produced by an atom is determined by the number of atomic orbitals that are mixed together to form the hybrid orbitals. For example, when an atom undergoes sp3 hybridization, one s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals. The number and types of hybrid orbitals depend on the atomic orbitals participating in the hybridization process.

Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals from different atoms in a covalent bond. These molecular orbitals have distinct shapes and energies compared to the atomic orbitals they are formed from. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine.
The number of molecular orbitals in the system depends on the number of atomic orbitals that are combined. If two atomic orbitals combine, they form two molecular orbitals: a bonding orbital and an antibonding orbital. So, in general, the number of molecular orbitals in a system is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are combined.
