What else can I help you with?
Do higher energy levels have higher orbitals than lower energy levels?
Yes, higher energy levels in an atom have higher orbitals than lower energy levels. Electrons in an atom occupy orbitals corresponding to their energy levels, with the lowest energy level (ground state) having the lowest orbitals.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
Your student asked why the pi bonding orbitals are lower in energy than the sigma bonding orbitals.?
this is not a general rule. pi orbitals are always higher in energy than sigma orbitals due to side wise overlapping which is less effective than head on overlappig. however in atoms with atomic number less than 7 the sigma orbital due to overlapping of p orbitals is higher in energy than the pi orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping of p orbitals
What is true when you compare 2p and 3p orbitals?
There always three p orbitals in each energy level. They always have the same general shape, dumbbells pointing along the x, y, z axes. The difference is the "size" - 3p extend further than 2p
How does the energy of core electrons compare with energy of valence electrons?
Core electrons have lower energy compared to valence electrons. Core electrons are located closer to the nucleus, experience a higher effective nuclear charge, and are more shielded by inner electron shells, leading to lower energy levels. Valence electrons are found in the outermost energy level and have higher energy due to their increased distance from the nucleus and lower shielding effect.
Do higher energy levels have higher orbitals than lower energy levels?
Yes, higher energy levels in an atom have higher orbitals than lower energy levels. Electrons in an atom occupy orbitals corresponding to their energy levels, with the lowest energy level (ground state) having the lowest orbitals.
What does hybridization?
Hybridisation is a mathematical technique in valence bond theory used "create" new (higher energy) orbitals from base atomic orbitals so that the new orbitals point along bond axes. Valence bond theory as its name suggests focuses on the localised electron pair. Other bonding theories such as molecular orbital theory do not hybridise the base atomic orbitals. Both theories have their merits.
What is the difference between d and f orbitals?
The main difference between d and f orbitals is their energy levels and shapes. D orbitals have slightly higher energy levels and are shaped like cloverleafs, while f orbitals have even higher energy levels and more complex shapes, like dumbbells with donut shapes around them. Additionally, d orbitals are found in the third energy level and higher, while f orbitals are found in the fourth energy level and higher.
What is the relationship between orbitals and energy levels in an atom?
In an atom, energy levels represent the different energy states that electrons can occupy. Orbitals are regions within an energy level where electrons are likely to be found. Each energy level can contain multiple orbitals, each with a specific shape and orientation. The higher the energy level, the farther the orbitals are from the nucleus, and the higher the energy of the electrons in those orbitals.
How does the energy of core electron compare with the energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
How does the energy core electrons compare with the energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
How does energy of core electrons compare with the energy of valence electrons?
The energy is higher.
Which electrons will have the higher energy?
Electrons in higher energy levels, further from the nucleus, will have higher energy compared to electrons in lower energy levels. Electrons that are in orbitals with higher principal quantum numbers (n) will have higher energy.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbitals?
The s orbital is lower in energy than the porbital.
Electrons with higher energy are located where?
It depends on your definition of high energy. Electrons close to the nucleus have a high positive energy and will require a lot of energy to elevate them to higher orbitals. Electrons far away from the nucleus have the potential to give off a lot of energy falling to inner orbitals.
How population inversion is accomplished in laser?
by pumping electrons to higher energy orbitals.
Your student asked why the pi bonding orbitals are lower in energy than the sigma bonding orbitals.?
this is not a general rule. pi orbitals are always higher in energy than sigma orbitals due to side wise overlapping which is less effective than head on overlappig. however in atoms with atomic number less than 7 the sigma orbital due to overlapping of p orbitals is higher in energy than the pi orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping of p orbitals
