If inner d orbital is involved in hybridization, it is called inner d orbital complex.

and if outer d orbital is involved in hybridization then it is called 'outer d orbital complex'.

Would the 5P orbital or 5D orbital have more energy?

The 5D orbital would have more energy than the 5P orbital. This is due to the fact that in general, d orbitals have higher energy than p orbitals because they experience more shielding from inner electrons and have a more complex shape which leads to higher energy.


How many electrons are there in the inner shell of nitrogen?

In nitrogen, the inner shell consists of two electrons, which fill the 1s orbital.


What is orbital diagram of cesium?

The orbital diagram of cesium (Cs) would show its electron configuration as [Xe] 6s1, where [Xe] represents the electron configuration of the inner noble gas xenon. This means that cesium has one valence electron in its outermost 6s orbital.


Why is d3 orbital more stable in water than d5?

Lets first take the case of the d3 compound. The no.of orbitals in the 3d shell is 5. If three electrons occupy three orbitals then there are two free orbitals.Therefore According to Valence bond theory the six water ligands will use the two inner d orbitals the outer s and the p orbitals to form an inner orbital complex with hybrisation d2sp3. In the second case we have the d5 compund. Since there are five electrons in the d subshell the five electrons singly occupy all the five d orbitals. Here 's where the concept of the weak ligand comes in. Since water is a weak ligand it cannot force pairing of the unpaired d electrons to make room for an inner orbital complex. Thus it has to use the outer d orbital to form an outer orbital complex with hybridisation of sp3d2. Since the Inner orbital (low spin) complex is more stable than the outer orbital (high spin) complex. Thus d3 configuration is more stable than d5 configuration in aqueous medium.


Which orbital electron has the highest energy?

I would think the s orbital, because it is closer to the nucleus, and because the outer energy level holds more energy than the inner ones.

Is dsp2 hybridised orbital is Inner Orbital Complex?

Yes, dsp2 hybridized orbitals are typically associated with inner orbital complexes. In these complexes, the central metal ion's d and s orbitals mix with the p orbitals of the ligands to form hybridized orbitals. This arrangement leads to geometric shapes like square planar or tetrahedral.


Is Q the inner orbital for electrons?

No, Q is the outermost orbital. K is the first one.

How do the orbital inclinations of the inner planets compare with those of the outer ones?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have relatively low orbital inclinations compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets orbit the Sun in a more or less flat plane known as the ecliptic, while the outer planets have more inclined orbits relative to this plane.

What characteristics define inner and outer planets?

Inner planets are typically rocky, smaller in size, have shorter orbital periods, and lack rings. Outer planets are gaseous or icy, larger in size, have longer orbital periods, and possess rings and many moons. Additionally, inner planets are closer to the Sun, while outer planets are farther away.
