Re: Orbitals
Hello!
Basically, the p orbital is the orbital of an electron shell in an atom in which the electrons have the second-lowest energy. A p orbital is shaped like 2 identical balloons tied together at the nucleus, so there are 2p orbitals. A p orbital has three orientations (represented by a __ line) and each line can hold up to two electrons, represented by up and down arrows, for a total of 6 electrons.
Hope this helps!

Re: Orbitals
P-orbitals have 2 lobes and a nodal plane at the nucleus. To solve problems with them, you need to know that when l=1, it is a p-orbital.

Re: Orbitals
In the p orbital, there are 3 lobes (located on the x, y, and z planes) and one nodal plan (asymmetric electron density). This means that the p orbital can hold 6 electrons, and its energy state is higher than the S orbitals.
