c. 3porbital
Short Answer
Expert verified
Step by step solution
01
Understanding the orbital shapes
For s-orbital:
- Spherically symmetrical
- Mathematically all same sign
For p-orbital:
- Dumble-shaped
- Two lobes with an opposite mathematical sign
02
Subpart (a) Drawing the orbital shape of the 3s orbital
In the case of a 3s orbital, the shape will be spherical and the charge is the same throughout the orbital.
No. of nodes present:
=n-1
=3-1
=2
03
Subpart (b) Drawing the orbital shape of the 4s orbital
In case of 4s orbital, the shape will also be spherical and throughout the orbital, the charge is same.
No. of nodes present is:
=n-1
=4-1
=3
04
Subpart (c) Drawing the orbital shape of the 3p orbital
For 3p orbitals, there are 3 types of p orbitals drawn according to the three-axis namely . The orbitals are double-lobed with each lobe opposite in sign and are dumble-shaped.
No. of nodes present:
=n-1
=3-1
=2
