The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.

An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.

The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.

In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.

All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.

The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.

inna [77]

Answer:

MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.

Explanation:

Alkanes do not form hydrogen bonds and are insoluble in polar solvents e.g water. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are move away from an alkane molecule and this worsens as their Carbon chain / molecular weight increases.

MgCl2 is soluble in water. Water essentially breaks down the ionic crystal lattice and the resulting solution is slightly basic.

Alcohols are generally soluble in water and this is because of the -OH group and its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. As applied to alkanes, as the carbon chain in the alkyl group increases, the solubility decreases.

From the most soluble to the least soluble,

MgCl2 > C4H9OH > CH4 > C3H8.
