What is the Fullform of s-orbital p-orbital d-orbital and f-orbital?
The orbital names s, p, d, and fstand for names given to groups of lines in the spectra of the alkali metals. These line groups are called sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.
Why is the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
What is the name of each orbital?
The four types of orbitals are s, p, d, and f. The s orbital is spherical, the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped, the d orbital is cloverleaf-shaped, and the f orbital is complex in shape.
Why does the s orbital fill before the p orbital?
It has a lower energy level. All else being equal, electrons tend to go into the lowest energy orbital with space available.
When an s orbital hybridizes with one p orbital what is the angle between the resulting orbitals?
The angle between an s and a p orbital in sp hybridization is 180 degrees, forming linear geometry. This hybridization involves mixing one s orbital with one p orbital to create two sp hybrids.
