Unit One, Chapter Two - Shapes Of Atomic Orbitals And Quantum Numbers Flashcards
How to find quantum number Ms?
Either +1/2 or -1/2 (no two electrons occupying the same orbital can have the same spin)
How to find quantum number Ml?
Range of values between positive and negative forms of I (e.g. L-2 , Ml = - 2, - 1, 0,+1,+2)
How to find quantum number l?
s-orbital = 0
p-orbital= 1
d-orbital = 2
f-orbital = 3
How to find quantum number n?
Number of shells
Which shells have d-orbitals?
All except for first and second
Which shells have p-orbitals?
All except the first
Which shells have an s-orbital?
All shells
In what order do the orbitals fill with elections?
s → p → d
The diameter of s-orbitals…
… Increases as the shell number increases
What are orbitals?
regions where there is a high probability of finding an electron
What does a d-orbital look like?
Four tear drop shapes in a cross (+)
What does a p-orbital look like?
Two tear drop shapes opposite each other (symmetricaI)
What does an s-orbital look like?
A sphere
What are the four types of orbitals?
s, p, d, and f
How many elections can one orbital hold?
Two (max)
