What else can I help you with?
How many 4f orbitals are in an atom?
some atoms have 5, some have none. the max is 5
Sublevel of atom?
The level of energy possessed by all electrons in one type of orbital. -APEX
Do hybridized orbitals exist in isolated atoms?
No, hybridized orbitals exist in molecules where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals. In isolated atoms, electrons occupy their respective atomic orbitals without hybridization occurring.
Filled energy sublevels are more than partially filled sublevels?
Correct. Filled energy sublevels have electrons occupying all available orbitals within the sublevel, while partially filled sublevels have some orbitals unfilled. This is a result of the rules governing electron configuration in atoms.
What is the difference between non-bonding and antibonding orbitals in molecular chemistry?
Non-bonding orbitals are electron orbitals that do not participate in bonding between atoms, while antibonding orbitals are electron orbitals that weaken or oppose the formation of chemical bonds between atoms.

How do you find the number of orbitals in an element?
You would have to determine the electron configuration for atoms of a given element. Each s sublevel contains 1 orbital, each p sublevel contains 3 orbitals, each d sublevel contain 5 orbitals, and each f sublevel contains 7 orbitals.

Why do you believe that the valence electrons of calcium and potassium reside in the 4s orbital rather than in the 3d orbital?
The 4s orbital is energetically lower than the 3d orbital, so electrons preferentially occupy the 4s orbital first in atoms like calcium and potassium. Electrons fill orbitals based on their energy levels, following the Aufbau principle, which explains why the valence electrons of these elements reside in the 4s orbital.
What is the difference between non-bonding and antibonding orbitals in molecular chemistry?
Non-bonding orbitals are electron orbitals that do not participate in bonding between atoms, while antibonding orbitals are electron orbitals that weaken or oppose the formation of chemical bonds between atoms.
Is a molecule found in the inner orbit?
No. Molecules are not in the orbitals of atoms. They are composed of multiple atoms. The electrons that dictate how they form are in the outer orbitals.
Compare the four types of orbitals?
On any level, a single s sublevel exists by itself, containing two electrons. However, the other three sublevels are actually composed of three or more sublevel orbitals. On any level, a p sublevel is actually made up of a group of three orbitals. Similarly, d sublevels are made up of a group of five orbitals, and f sublevels are composed of a group of seven orbitals.
Where the atoms electrons are found is called the?

What type of hybrid orbitals found in graphite and diamond?
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.
