Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
The first transition series represents the filling of the orbital?
the 3d orbital
Difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Bonding molecular orbital Its energy is less than that of parent atomic orbital.It is more stable than the parent atomic orbital.In B.M.O, the probability of finding electrons is maximum.Contribution of B.M.O is maximum towards the shape of molecule.Anti-bondingmolecular orbital Its energy is greater than that of parent atomic orbital.It is less stable than the parent atomic orbital.In A.B.M.O, the probability of finding electrons is minimum.It does not contribute towards the shape of molecule.
What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?
according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.
In what orbital are the valence electrons in chlorine?
The valence electrons are in the 3p shell. Chlorine principally bonds by gaining 1 electron into the 3p orbital, giving 3p6 and a chlorine ion with a (-1) charge. This gives an ionic bond eg sodium chloride. However it can share electrons in the 3p and 3d shell, as in chlorates, to from 3 covalent bonds.
Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
The first transition series represents the filling of the orbital?
the 3d orbital
Why does 4s orbital start filling while 3p orbital is empty?
The electrons fill in the lowest energy orbital that is available. Electrons in the 4s orbital have a lower energy level than electrons in the 3p orbital, so the 4s orbitals are filled with electrons first.
what is the shape of the orbital P?
The 2p is dumbell-Shaped. 3p has an extra node on each side of the center. The 4p has 2 extra nodes and so on.
Which is the highest energy orbital for a silicon atom?
3p is the highest "occupied" orbital of an "unexcited" neutral Silicon atom.
What element from the periodic table has 3p- for an electron configuration?
Al, Si, P, S, Cl and Ar have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 electrons respectively in the 3p (valence orbitals). However all elements after Argon have completely filled 3p orbitals though 3p is not the valence orbital.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy 3p?
Since they are p orbitals, 6 electrons are occupied in the 3p orbital. there are 3 types of p orbital, px, py and pz
An electron in a 3s orbital penetrates into the region occupied by core electrons more than electrons in a 3p orbital?
True
What would you expect the valence of phosphorus to be?
Five. Two in the 3s orbital and three in the 3p orbitals (one in each p orbital).
How does a molecular orbital differ from an atomic orbital?
Molecular consists of multiple atomic orbitals
Difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Bonding molecular orbital Its energy is less than that of parent atomic orbital.It is more stable than the parent atomic orbital.In B.M.O, the probability of finding electrons is maximum.Contribution of B.M.O is maximum towards the shape of molecule.Anti-bondingmolecular orbital Its energy is greater than that of parent atomic orbital.It is less stable than the parent atomic orbital.In A.B.M.O, the probability of finding electrons is minimum.It does not contribute towards the shape of molecule.
What types of atomic orbital are in the third principal energy level?
The principal energy level is three, so there are three sublevels: 3s, 3p, and 3d. S,P and D
