In ordinary English, sphere can mean a solid or a hollow spherical shape. In mathematics, a sphere is the set of all points equidistant from a point (and thus not a solid). The terms "solid sphere" or "spherical solid" can be used as needed to avoid confusion.

A sphere is a three dimensional object with a diameter equal in all places. At any cross section it will be circular. The formula for the volume of a sphere is and the formula for its surface area is

In chemistry the sphere shape is associated with the 1st orbital, the s orbital. The s orbital holds 2 electrons.

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.


How does gravity affect the shape of soap bubbles?

Gravity does affect the shape and size of a soap bubble. From the top of my head, an air-borne bubble's surface would have higher density at the bottom (part facing ground).In reality, a bubble is never a perfect sphere and is always heavier at the bottom. If you blow a big bubble and look at it closely, you would likely notice a slight dimp at the bottom of the sphere aka the excess liquid which has accumulated at the bottom due to gravity. This affects the shape of the bubble as the weight of the excess liquid pulls down on the surface area of the sphere.


What is the shape of the 3p atomic orbital?

Dumbell, all p orbitals are dumbell shaped. S are spherical and d orbitals are double dumbelled.


Shape of sublevels?

's' orbitals are spherical. 'p' orbitals are peanut shaped. 'd' orbitals are like two 'p' orbitals crossing each other. and 'f' orbitals...well there are a ton of shapes that they can be...my chem teacher just describes them as weird


Why are atoms usually portrayed as spheres when most orbitals are not spherically shaped?

Only for easy understanding we imagine the shape of atom as spherical one. In reality electrons, protons and neutrons, all other subatomic particles are only in the form of fields. Hence shape is arbitrary. Molecules, with only a few exceptions, are not spherical.
