Cartesian coordinates. However ... there are 3 p orbitals for each principal quantum number, but representing them as px, py, and pz is simply a human mathematical convenience; they're all equivalent and it's simply a convenient way of orthogonalizing them. The d and f orbital names and representations are even less "real".

What is the orbital notation for an orbital containing two electrons?

It depends what type of orbital these two electrons occupy. But there would be one arrow going up and one arrow going down to show two electrons in the same orbital.


What does the third quantum number m describe?

The third quantum number, m, describes the orientation of the atomic orbital in space. It specifies the orientation of the orbital within a particular subshell. The values of m range from -l to +l, where l is the azimuthal quantum number.


What is the electron configuration of an element?

The electron configuration of an element shows the number of electrons in their energy levels and orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of a neutral magnesium atom, Mg, with 12 electrons, is 1s22s22p63s2. This means that there are two electrons in the s orbital of the first energy level, two electrons in the s orbital and six electrons in the p orbital of the second energy level, and two electrons in the s orbital of the third energy level. The number in front of each letter represents the energy level, the letter represents the orbital, and the superscripts represent the number of electrons in the orbital.


What is the Maximum number of electrons into 4p orbital?

An orbital can only occupy maximum of 2 electrons. As p orbital consist of 3 orbitals. And has 3 orientations. Px, Py, Pz. So as there are 3 orbitals so p orbital can occupy at the maximum 6 electrons regardless of principle quantum no.. In 4p 4 is principle quantum no. So it represent 4p represent the p orbital of 4th shell. So it also occupy at the maximum of 6 electrons.

Is it true or false an orbital diagram uses arrows to represent the spin of the electrons?

An orbital is a region of space that an electron can exist in. For the diagram you start with the 1 s orbital and then 2s, 2p, and so on. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons and each arrow represents, as shown in this image. http://www.chem.uky.edu/courses/che105/105208p6.gif
