How many type of orbitals are there?

There are five d orbitals, known as dz2, dxy, dxz, dyz , and dx2-y2. The special properties of transition metals are because of the d-orbitals.

What is total no Of orbitals associated with the principal quantum number n3?

5 sub-orbitals with (max.) two electrons in each, so 10 in total. This is also true for 4d and 5d orbitalsSymbols:dz2 , dxz ,dyz ,dxy ,dx2-y2


Is the color observed in the flame test the result of the metallic ion or the nitrate ion explain why?

Nitrate ions have no colour, while transition metal ions do. The colour in the transition metal is due to ligands (such as nitrate in this case) approaching the ion along the x, y and z axes. As the dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals lie on these axes they will be repelled by the ligand (negative charges repel each other). The other orbitals (dxy dyz and dxz) do repel the ligand as well just to a much lesser extent. This creates an ligand field (difference of energy between the orbitals) Photons are then absorbed by the dxy dyz and dxz orbitals . The wavelength of photons absorbed will affect the colour of light seen, ie if green light is absorbed violet will be seen (in permanganate ions).

How many p orbitals are in the 2p sublevel?

There is no such level as 2d. In 1st level there is just 1s. In the 2nd level there is 2s and 2p. Only in the 3rd level is there 3s, 3p and 3d. The sublevels of 3d are 3 dxy dyz dxz d(x2-y2) dz2 so 5 sublevels of 3d.

Why transition metals are colored?

The 5 orbitals within the 3d subshell have different energies and electrons within the 3d subshell can move up and down these orbitals. The energy transitions within the orbitals of the 3d subshell correspond to the energy of visible light.


The number of orbitals for the d sublevel is?

The s sublevel has just one orbital, so can contain 2 electrons max. The p sublevel has 3 orbitals, so can contain 6 electrons max. The d sublevel has5orbitals, so can contain 10 electrons max. And the 4 sublevel has 7 orbitals, so can contain 14 electrons max.


Which orbitals has a shape that is spherically symmetrical?

Orbitals are shaped depending on how many lobes there are. - There is only 1 s orbital and the s orbital has 1 lobe - There are 3 p orbitals and p orbitals have 2 lobes - There are 5 d orbitals and d orbitals have 4 lobes, with a slight exception to 1 orbital that looks like a p orbital but with a doughnut around it. Since the s orbital has 1 lobe it is completely spherical.
