Why does the s orbitals fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
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
When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbital what is the angle between the resulting orbitals?
120 degrees
How are electrons compiled on an atoms?
In orbitals and shells. Orbitals are hard to describe because they are shaped by relativistic quantum mechanics and can only be visualized as probability clouds not as physical shapes. Shells are composed of sets of orbitals. s orbital probability clouds are spherical. p orbital probability clouds are egg shaped ellipsoids. d orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with a donut around the middle unattached. f orbital probability clouds are hour glass shaped with two distorted donuts around the middle unattached. etc. Shell 1 has a single s orbital. Shell 2 has a single s orbital and 3 p orbitals. Shell 3 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 5 d orbitals. Shell 4 has a single s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. etc.
Why is the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
What does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
the s orbital is lower in energy than the p orbital
Why does the s orbitals fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
What types of atomic orbitals are in the second principal energy level?
An s orbital
Combination of one s orbital with one p orbital?
s orbitals are spherical, so there cannot be any angle 'between' an s orbital and a p orbital. However, each lobe of a p orbital is perpendicular (90 degrees in all directions) to the surface of an s orbital.
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
Is an 's' orbital weaker than a 'p' orbital?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the p orbital.
What are the electron levels?
Electrons don't have levels. They have shells and orbitals. Each shell contains certain orbitals. For example, the first shell contains only the s orbital. The second contains the s and p orbital. The fourth shell has the s, p, and d orbitals.
When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbital what is the angle between the resulting orbitals?
120 degrees

How many orbitals are in third energy level?
There is one s orbital and three p orbitals and five d orbitals in the third energy level.
