Nitrogen has one electron in each of what orbitals?
2 p orbitals
What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?
Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
Shape of sublevels?
's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird
Which orbital has dumbbell shape?
P-orbitals have dumbbell shape.their X & Y orientation is same as the X & Y coordinate axis and that of Z is represented making 45 degree to X and Y
How many p-orbitals are occupied in a Ne atom?
All three 2p orbitals (2px, 2py, 2pz) are occupied by two electrons each.(6 electrons in total: (2px2, 2py2, 2pz2) = 2p6)
The three p orbitals differ in which of which of the following characteristics?
The answer is Their orientation in space
What is orbitals called?
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
How many orbitals are occupied in a Ar atom?
Ne has three p-orbitals.
Nitrogen has one electron in each of what orbitals?
2 p orbitals
What is the maximum number of p orbitals that are possible?
Each of the p orbitals can hold 2 electrons due to the Pauli exclusion principle. Because there are 3 p orbitals in a given subshell, the overall p subshell can hold 6 electrons.
The p orbitals are shaped like?
p orbitals are dumbbell shaped (like an '8' with nucleus in middle)
How many electrons occupy p orbitals in a chlorine atom?
5 electrons in p orbitals in the outer shell. Cl has an electronic configuration of [Ne] 3s2, 3p5 In level 2 there a further 6 electrons in p orbitals making 11 electrons in total occupying p orbitals
Shape of sublevels?
's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird
A given set of p orbitals consists of how many orbitals?
Always three!
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the 2p sublevel?
The maximum number of electrons in the 2p sublevel is 6. The p sublevel has three orbitals, each of which can take two electrons.
How many orbitals are in a p subshell?
6 electrons in 3 orbitals of p-sublevel: px, py and pz
How many orbitals are in h2o?
There are 4 orbitals in H2O , one s and 3 p
