Document Summary

Chapter 4 atoms and light- 4. 6 shapes of atomic orbitals. Recognizing shapes of s, p, d and f orbitals. Each atomic energy levels is associated with a specific 3-d atomic orbital. 1s is a small sphere, 2s is a larger sphere and 3s is an even larger sphere p-orbitals there are 3 possible p-orbitals (m = -1, 0, or 1) We give them subscripts: px, py, pz d-orbitals. 5 possible d-orbitals (m = -2, -1, 0, 1 or 2) Denoted by dxy, dyz, dx2-yz and dz2 f-orbitals. 7 possible f-orbitals (m = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 or 3) Denoted by fy(x2-y2), fx2-y2, fyz2, fz3, fxz2, fxyz and fx(x2-y2) The probability of finding the electron can be i(cid:374)di(cid:272)ated (cid:271)y their (cid:862)de(cid:374)sity(cid:863): high de(cid:374)sity (cid:272)orrelates with regio(cid:374)s where ele(cid:272)tro(cid:374)s are (cid:373)ost pro(cid:271)a(cid:271)ly found, low density- where they are least probably found.
