Re: Test Question
I think Lavelle wants us to know what the orbitals would look like and understand the differences but I don’t think it is required, and he said he would not make us draw any orbitals.

Re: Test Question
We're probably expected to understand electron configuration and how orbitals are structured in order to name the state of an electron
Re: Test Question
It is useful to conceptually understand the shapes of the orbitals however for the test itself you will not need to draw them.
Re: Test Question
I don't think we're required to know the shapes for this upcoming test specifically, but for the midterm and final understanding the idea behind it and concepts like the probability of finding an electron will probably be important

Re: Test Question
It's good to know them for context and conceptual understanding, but we don't have to know how to draw them.
Re: Test Question
I do not believe he will ask us to memorize the shapes but we should understand them

Re: Test Question
I believe that we do not have to draw the shapes, but we do have to be able to recognize and identify them.
