What are the four orbitals called in an atom?

Answer: s, p, d, and f -orbitals, differing in 'shape'.


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


What are a set of orbitals that are dumbbell shape and directly along the y x and z axis?

p orbitals


Is this true or false the electron probability cloud for atomic orbitals are spherical in shape?

It is true only for s-orbital which is spherical in shape. p-, f- and d- orbitals are not spherical in shape.


The p orbitals are shaped like?

p orbitals are dumbbell shaped (like an '8' with nucleus in middle)


Why are there three different p orbitals in each principal energy level?

There are three different p orbitals in each principal energy level because of the shape and orientation of the p subshell. Each p orbital has a characteristic dumbbell shape and can be oriented along three different axes: x, y, and z. This results in three distinct p orbitals: p_x, p_y, and p_z. Each of these orbitals can hold a maximum of two electrons, allowing for a total of six electrons in the p subshell.


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


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.


The shape of the p subshell is predicted to be?

The shape of the p subshell is predicted to be dumbbell or peanut-shaped. It is composed of three p orbitals, each oriented along one of the three coordinate axes (x, y, z). These orbitals have two lobes of electron density with a node at the center.


How can you describe the shape of a p-orbital?

The shape and spatial orientation of the p orbitals in an atom can be remembered by calling it the peanut orbital. The shape of a p orbital is peanut shaped and can be oriented on the x, y, or z axes.


In what type of orbitals are the actinide and lanthanide electron found?

Actinide and lanthanide electrons are typically found in f-orbitals. These orbitals are part of the inner electron shells and have a distinctive shape compared to the s and p orbitals.
