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
What is the shape of sp3?
sp3 orbitals are similar in shape to p orbitals however one side is much larger than the other - hence you have a lopsided dunbell shape orbital
What is the shape of the 3p atomic orbital?
Dumbell, all p orbitals are dumbell shaped. S are spherical and d orbitals are double dumbelled.
Nitrogen has one electron in each of what orbitals?
2 p orbitals

What are the four orbitals called in an atom?
Answer: s, p, d, and f -orbitals, differing in 'shape'.
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.
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 the shape of sp3?
sp3 orbitals are similar in shape to p orbitals however one side is much larger than the other - hence you have a lopsided dunbell shape orbital
What is orbitals called?
The different orbitals are s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals, and f orbitals.
What is the shape of the 3p atomic orbital?
Dumbell, all p orbitals are dumbell shaped. S are spherical and d orbitals are double dumbelled.
How many orbitals are occupied in a Ar atom?
Ne has three p-orbitals.
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.
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.
