In isolation, there are 3 that look a bit like four balloons tied together at the tied-ends, each in different orientations and one that looks like two balloons tied together with a doughnut around the tied ends. Combining these make shapes as you would expect the analogy above to make.
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.
After the 4s orbital, the next orbital in order of increasing energy is the 3d orbital. The 3d orbital has a more complex shape compared to the s and p orbitals and can hold up to 10 electrons.
The s orbital fills before the p orbitals because it has lower energy. This means that electrons will fill up the s orbital before moving to the higher energy p orbitals in the electronic configuration of an atom.
Which sublevel the electron is in.
The 1s is a sphere, crossing all axis of course. all the s orbitals are a sphere. p orbital are opposile nodes on the x, the y, and the z axis.
The four types of orbitals are s, p, d, and f. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped, the d orbital is cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbital is complex in shape.
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.
The probability density cloud for the orbitals are:* s-orbitals are shaped like spheres. * The three p-orbitals have the form of dumbbells. The three p-orbitals ina shell each are oriented at right angles to each other * Four of the five d-orbitals are four pear-shaped balls. The fifth is a torus. * Thee seven f-orbitals can best be described as "complex"
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
After the 4s orbital, the next orbital in order of increasing energy is the 3d orbital. The 3d orbital has a more complex shape compared to the s and p orbitals and can hold up to 10 electrons.
letter s, p, d, or f denoting the shape of the orbital.
The orbital names s, p, d, and fstand for names given to groups of lines in the spectra of the alkali metals. These line groups are called sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.
The s orbital fills before the p orbitals because it has lower energy. This means that electrons will fill up the s orbital before moving to the higher energy p orbitals in the electronic configuration of an atom.
An s orbital is spherical in shape, with a high probability of finding the electron closer to the nucleus.

Which sublevel the electron is in.
s-orbital more affinity to electrons than p when 'empty'
