- How do 2p orbitals differ from each other? How do 2p and 3p orbitals differ from each other? What is a nodal surface in an atomic orbital? What is wrong with lp, ld, 2d, lf, 2f, and 3f orbitals? Explain what we mean when we say that a 4s electron is more penetrating than a 3d electron.arrow_forwardState which of the following orbitals cannot exist according to the quantum theory: 3p, 4s, 2f, and 1p. Briefly explain your answers.arrow_forwardWhat are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forward
- State which of the following orbitals cannot exist according to the quantum theory: 2s, 2d, 3p, 3f, 4f, and 5s. Briefly explain your answers.arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forwardWhich of the following sets of quantum numbers correctly represents a 4p orbital? (a) n = 4, = 0, m = 1 (b) n = 4, = 1, m = 0 (c) n = 4, = 2, m = 1 (d) n = 4, = 1, m =2arrow_forward
- Sketch a picture of the 90% boundary surface of an s orbital and the px orbital. Be sure the latter drawing shows why the p orbital is labeled px and not py, for example.arrow_forward(a) Use the radial wave function for the 3p orbital of a hydrogen atom (see Table 5.2) to calculate the value of r for which a node exists. (b) Find the values of r for which nodes exist for the 3s wave function of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forward(a) When n = 4, = 2, and m = 1, to what orbital type does this refer? (Give the orbital label, such as 1s.) (b) How many orbitals occur in the n = 5 electron shell? How many subshells? What are the letter labels of the subshells? (c) How many orbitals occur in an f subshell? What are the values of m?arrow_forward
