QUESTION:

Describe the shape of each of the following orbitals:a. 3pb. 6sc. 4p

ANSWER:

Solution 38QPHere, we are going to describe the shape of the following orbitals.Orbitals:Orbital is the highest probability of an electron in three dimensional region.Shape of orbitals: Each orbital has a unique three dimensional shape.S orbital:Electrons in s orbital most likely in found in the spherical shape.Therefore, s orbital have spherical shape.There is 1s orbital for every energy level starting with n =1.So, the first,second and third energy levels are designated as 1s,2s,3s………... P -orbital:For n = 2 energy level, they have 2s and 2p orbitals.P orbital has two lobes .There are three p orbitals.The three p orbitals are arranged in the perpendicular directions along with x,y and z axes around the nucleus. d-orbitalFor n=3 energy level consists two subshells.s,p and d.There five d orbitals. ______________________________________________________________________________
