quiz 2: 5-s orbital
On quiz 2 there was a section with orbitals I was confused with what a 5s-orbital entails. How do we know how many electrons it has and how exactly do you get a 5s-orbital?

Re: quiz 2: 5-s orbital
You would need to know that the s-orbital only has 1 orbital. Each orbital can only hold 2 electrons.
So if there is only 1 orbital, it can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

N has no impact on the number of electrons directly; however it determines what l can be. So when l=0 (s orbital shell) there can only be 1 orbital which fits 2 electrons

Re: quiz 2: 5-s orbital
We have to memorize/ know that
s-orbital=1 orbitals = 2 e-
p-orbital=3 orbitals= 6 e-
d-orbital=5 orbitals= 10 e-
f-orbital= 7 orbitals = 14 e-
To find e-, simply multiply by 2
s-orbital=1 orbitals = 2 e-
p-orbital=3 orbitals= 6 e-
d-orbital=5 orbitals= 10 e-
f-orbital= 7 orbitals = 14 e-
To find e-, simply multiply by 2
Return to “Wave Functions and s-, p-, d-, f- Orbitals”
