The probability density cloud for the orbitals are:
* s-orbitals are shaped like spheres. * The three p-orbitals have the form of dumbbells. The three p-orbitals ina shell each are oriented at right angles to each other * Four of the five d-orbitals are four pear-shaped balls. The fifth is a torus. * Thee seven f-orbitals can best be described as "complex"

∙ 10y agoShape of 's' orbital
(i) For 's' orbital l=0 & m=0 so 's' orbital have only one unidirectional orientation i.e. the probability of finding the electrons is same in all directions.
(ii) The size and energy of 's' orbital with increasing 'n' will be 1s < 2s < 3s < 4s
(ii) Shape of 'p' orbital is dumb bell in which the two lobes on opposite side separated by the nodal plane.
(iii) p-orbital has directional properties.

What is the shape of an s orbital?
dumb bell shape
Which orbital is spherical in shape and has one orbit?
Only s-orbitals are of spherical shape.First of all, it must be known that orbitals are not a well-defined areas with sharp boundaries, they are just places with high probability of finding an electron.By finding all such places, shape of an orbital is formulated.This is done by solving Schrodinger equation, which gives the probablity of finding an electron in a certain place.
Which orbital is nearest to nucleus?
s-orbital
Which planet s orbital shape would be most similar to Jupiters orbital shape?
Jupiter's orbit is an ellipse with an eccentricity of 0.048, which means that it looks like a circle with the Sun off-centre by an amount equal to 0.048 times the average radius. Uranus has an eccentricity of 0.047 and that is the closest among the other planets.
The sun is located at one of the two in the shape of Earth's orbital path.?
FOCI
What is the shape for orbital s?
spherical

Describe the shape of the s orbital and p orbital.?
In isolation, there are 3 that look a bit like four balloons tied together at the tied-ends, each in different orientations and one that looks like two balloons tied together with a doughnut around the tied ends. Combining these make shapes as you would expect the analogy above to make.
Which planet's orbital shape would be most similar to Jupiter's orbital shape?
pluto
The letter p in the symbol 4p3 indicates the what?
orbital shape
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.
The shape of the orbital influences the electrons?
The orbitals represent the possibility to find the electron at a particular place around the nucleus.Its an abstract term.The orbital can't affect the electron because the electron itself forms the orbital.So the orbital does not affect the electron, the electron affects the shape of the orbital.More specially, the orbital has some kind of shape because of the specific energetic condition of the electron.And with these specific, energetic conditions only specific shapes are ''allowed''.
What is shape of a p orbital?
The shape of a p orbital is like a dumbbell-shaped. P orbital shapes depends on the quantum numbers affiliated with an energy state.
What does the angular quantum number tell you?
The angular momentum number shows the shape of the electron cloud or the orbital. The magnetic quantum number, on the other hand, determines the number of orbitals and their orientation within a subshell.
What is the shape of a 2s orbital?
The 1s is a sphere, crossing all axis of course. all the s orbitals are a sphere. p orbital are opposile nodes on the x, the y, and the z axis.
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.
