Question #51529
explain the shapes of 1s and 2py orbitals of an atom
with one electron. (
with one electron. (
Expert's answer
1s electron orbital is occupied by hydrogen electron. 1s orbital is spherically symmetrical around the nucleus.
2py orbital belongs to p-orbitals, where 3 possible orientations are possible (2px, 2py, 2pz). This orbital cosists of 2 lobes, which are symmetrical about a particular axis. 2pyorbital lays along the y-axis
2py orbital belongs to p-orbitals, where 3 possible orientations are possible (2px, 2py, 2pz). This orbital cosists of 2 lobes, which are symmetrical about a particular axis. 2pyorbital lays along the y-axis
