Shapes of Orbitals Online Class 11 Chemistry Notes

The Orbital
The maximum value of l is n – 1, so the only levels with n = 2 or higher have a orbital. 2p orbital is closest to the nucleus. Unlike s orbitals, p orbitals have different spatial orientations. If n =2, the values of l= 2-1 i.e. 1. So, the values of m will be -1, 0, +1, i.e. there are three values which suggest that there are three p orbitals because a number of values give the number of orbitals. The orbital has two regions or lobes of the high probability of finding electrons, one on either side of the nucleus.  This makes the orbital look like two pears joined together at their narrow ends. The whole arrangement appears like a dumb- bell. The nucleus lies at the nodal plane of this dumbbell shaped orbital.
The Orbital

An orbital with l = 0 (angular momentum quantum number, which describes the shape of an orbital) and thus, m= 0 (a magnetic quantum number which describes the orientation of orbital in space around the nucleus) is called s orbital. Since m has one value this means the s orbital can have only one orientation and the sphere can be defined completely by a single value i.e. radius. So, the s orbital are spherically symmetrical about the nucleus. The size of s orbital depends on the value of the principal quantum number. Therefore 1s orbital is smaller than 2s orbital, but both are spherical in shape.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
