Question

Which statement is NOT true about "p" orbitals? Which statement is NOT true about "p" orbitals? A 3p orbital has a higher energy than a 2p orbital. These orbitals are shaped like dumbbells. A subshell contains three "p" orbitals. All three of these statements are true. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

Option E is correction. None of the above.

Explanation:

    ( 1 ) A 3p orbital has more energy than 2p orbital and this is the reason it is away from the nucleus as compare to 2p orbital. Energy of the shells increases as their distance increases from the nucleus.

    (2) p subshells are made up of three dumbbell-shaped orbitals

    (3) There are three atomic orbitals in a p subshell. They are px, py, and pz.
