Learning Objective - Name and explain the relationship of each of the four s-, p-, and d-orbitals to the properties of e

Postby Alexa Marinelli-1B » Tue Oct 19, 2021 1:46 am

Would this just to say that s has one orbital and holds 2 electrons, p has 3 orbitals and can hold 6 electrons, d has 5 orbitals and can 10 electrons, f has 7 orbitals and can hold 14 electrons? Or is there something else that I should add.

Yes

And s orbitals have no nodal planes.
p, d, and f orbitals do have nodal planes.

In class I covered s, p, d orbitals/states and said drawing them was not expected/useful.
