Orbitals
Question | Answer |
---|---|
s-orbital | Atomic orbitals are regions of space where the probability of finding an electron about an atom is highest. s orbital properties: There is one s orbital per n level. = 0 1 value of m s orbitals are spherically symmetric. |
p-orbital | Appear in n = 2 shell. Peanut or dumbbell shaped volumes. They are directed along the axes of a Cartesian coordinate system. There are 3 p orbitals per n level. The three orbitals are named px, py, pz. They have an l = 1. ml = -1,0,+1 3 values o |
d-orbitals | appear in the n = 3 shell 5 d orbitals have 2 shapes: 4 clover leaf shaped. 1 peanut shaped w/ doughnut around Orbitals lie directly on the axes or rotated 45o from axes 5 d orbitals per n level They have an l = 2. ml = -2,-1,0,+1,+2 5 values of |
f-orbita | in the n = 4 shell. Most complex shapes 7 f orbitals per n level. The f orbitals have complicated names. They have an l = 3 ml = -3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2, +3 7 values of ml The f orbitals have important effects in the lanthanide and actinide elements. |
