Why is there only one spatial orientation for the s orbital?
Yes. There are three spatial orientations for the p orbital, 5 spatial orientations for the d orbital and 7 spatial orientations for the f orbitals.
Electrons will not be found in what part of the atom?
The nucleus of an atom is composed of proton(s) and neutron(s). The electron(s) will not be found within the nucleus but through quantum theory its orbital locations within certainty can be determined.
What ar the three smaller subatomic particles that make up an atom?
A electron(s) in a orbital around a nucleus made of protons and neutrons.
Why does an s orbital fill before a p orbital?
In general, electrons fill up different positions in such a way that they are in the lowest possible energy level. The orbitals closer to the nucleus have a lower energy level than the ones which are further out.
Why is the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
Why is there only one spatial orientation for the s orbital?
Yes. There are three spatial orientations for the p orbital, 5 spatial orientations for the d orbital and 7 spatial orientations for the f orbitals.
Which orbital is nearest to nucleus?
s-orbital
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents what?
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.
In an s orbital the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does NOT depend on?
Direction with respect to the nucleus
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
Electrons will not be found in what part of the atom?
The nucleus of an atom is composed of proton(s) and neutron(s). The electron(s) will not be found within the nucleus but through quantum theory its orbital locations within certainty can be determined.
Penetrating effect of atomic orbitals?
An s orbital is closer to the nucleus than a p orbital, so it shields outer electrons more than a p orbital does. Therefore, it's penetration effect is greater than the p orbital's. The penetration effect is the tendency of orbitals closer to the nucleus shielding outer electrons.
How many electrons can be in the S orbital?
The S orbital contains a maximum of two electrons
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
How does 2s orbital differ from a 1s orbital?
1s and 2s orbitals differ in that 2s orbitals lie farther away from the nucleus in the next principle energy level. Other than that, they occupy the same shape of orbital, spherical, as indicated by the s.
S orbital contains how many elements?
S orbital contains only 2 electrons and not elements.
In an s orbital the probability of finding an electron a particular distance from the nucleus does not depend on a quantum mechanical model direction with respect to the nucleus the schrodinger e?
To the extent that I can make any sense of the question: Yes, the probability function for an s orbital is spherically symmetric and dependent on radial distance only.
