How many electrons can a set of p type orbitals hold?

A set of p type orbitals can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, with each p orbital able to hold a maximum of 2 electrons. This is because there are three p orbitals (px, py, pz) available for electrons to occupy in a given energy level.


How many orbitals are in a set of s-type?

2


What is subset of a set?

A subset, A, of a given a set S, consists of none or more elements that belong to S.


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

p orbitals


What is the solution of -5x plus y equals -5?

-10


A new set of identical orbitals formed by combining the atomic orbitals of an atom involved in covalent bonding?

Molecular orbitals are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals from different atoms in a covalent bond. These molecular orbitals have distinct shapes and energies compared to the atomic orbitals they are formed from. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine.


How many subset are there in given set?

If the set has n elements then it has 2n subsets.


How many orbitals are in the 5th principal shell?

There are three p orbitals in all levels 2 and above. these are the px, py and pz orbitals, the (suffix is the direction - px lies along the x axis). In the 5th level they will be 5px, 5py, 5pz


What is a degenerate d-orbital?

"Degenerate" in this sense means "indistinguishable" or more specifically "having the same energy." Properly speaking, the word shouldn't be used for a single orbital; it refers to the relationship between two or more orbitals. For example, in an isolated atom, the three p orbitals in a given shell are said to be degenerate, since they all have the same energy level.


What is the hybridisation of sf5-?

The hybridization of SF5- is sp3d2. This is formed by mixing one s orbital, three p orbitals, and two d orbitals to form a set of six sp3d2 hybrid orbitals around the sulfur atom in SF5-.


Who is theory is All orbits of a given degenerate set must be singly occupied before pairing?

The theory that all orbits of a given degenerate set must be singly occupied before pairing is known as Hund's Rule. It states that electrons will fill degenerate orbitals (orbitals of the same energy level) singly and with parallel spins before any orbital is doubly occupied. This minimizes electron-electron repulsion and stabilizes the atom. Hund's Rule is crucial in understanding the electron configuration of atoms in quantum chemistry.


What is sp3d2?

"sp3d2" refers to the hybridization of atomic orbitals in a molecule where 1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, and 2 d orbitals combine to form a set of 6 equivalent hybrid orbitals. This hybridization is commonly found in octahedral molecules where the central atom is surrounded by six electron pairs.
