Relative energies are in the order:

s < p < d < f

And the shape of these orbitals are

s - spherical

p - dumbbell

d - double dumbbell        

f -   double double dumbbell

The shapes of s, p, d and f orbitals are spherical, dumbbell, clover leaf and double dumbbell respectively. (For structures, refer to the attached image). The relative energies of these orbitals follows the order s < p < d < f.

Further explanation:

Atomic Orbital:

It is a mathematical function required for the description of the wave-nature of electrons in an atom. The probability to find an electron in a specific region around the nucleus of an atom is determined by these orbitals. Four different types of atomic orbitals are present. These are<em> s, p, d</em> and<em> f</em> orbitals. The value of quantum numbers is different for each atomic orbital.

An atom can be occupied by various orbitals. The size of the orbitals is related to the possibility of finding electrons. Smaller the size of orbitals, higher will be the possibility to find electrons and vice-versa.

The s orbitals are nondirectional in nature and therefore have spherical shape. This is because these have spherical symmetry and the wave function depends only on the distance from the nucleus but not on the direction. (For shape, refer to the attached image).

The p orbitals have dumbbell shape. These are of three types, {p_x}, {p_y} and {p_z}. (For shape, refer to the attached image).

The d orbitals have shape somewhat similar to a clover leaf. These are of five types- {d_{xy}}, {d_{yz}}, {d_{xz}}, {d_{{x^2} - {y^2}}} and {d_{{z^2}}}. These orbitals have two angular nodes where the probability of finding electrons is zero. (For shape, refer to the attached image).

The f orbitals have double dumbbell shape. These are of seven types- {f_{xyz}}, {f_{y\left( {{x^2} - {z^2}} \right)}}, {f_{z\left( {{x^2} - {y^2}} \right)}}, {f_{x\left( {{z^2} - {y^2}} \right)}}, {f_{{x^3} - \frac{3}{5}x{r^2}}}, {f_{{z^3} - \dfrac{3}{5}z{r^2}}}  and {f_{{y^3} - \dfrac{3}{5}y{r^2}}}. (For shape, refer to the attached image).

The energy of various orbitals depends on the principal quantum number (n) and azimuthal quantum number (l). More the value of n, higher will be the energy and vice-versa. In case, orbitals have the same value of n, that having higher (n + l) will have higher energy. The increasing order of energy of various orbitals is,

s < p < d < f

What is the specific heat capacity of an unknown metal if 75.00 g of the metal absorbs 418.6J of heat and the temperature rises
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 \frac{J}{g*C}

Explanation:

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

There is a direct proportional relationship between heat and temperature. The constant of proportionality depends on the substance that constitutes the body as on its mass, and is the product of the specific heat by the mass of the body. So, the equation that allows calculating heat exchanges is:

Q = c * m * ΔT

where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.

In this case, you know:

  • Q= 418.6 J
  • c= ?  
  • m= 75 g
  • ΔT= 25 C

Replacing:

418.6 J= c* 75 g* 25 C

Solving:

c=\frac{418.6 J}{75 g*25 C}

c= 0.223 \frac{J}{g*C}

<u><em>The specific heat capacity of the unknown metal is 0.223 </em></u>\frac{J}{g*C}<u><em></em></u>

Morphine is a well known pain killer but is highly addictive. The lethal dose of morphine varies from person to person based on
Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.252 milimoles

Explanation:

To convert mass of a substance to moles it is necessary to use the molar mass of the substance.

The formula of morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, thus, its molar mass is:

C: 17*12.01g/mol = 204.17g/mol

H: 19*1.01g/mol = 19.19g/mol

N: 1*14g/mol = 14g/mol

O: 3*16g/mol = 48g/mol.

204.17 + 19.19 + 14 + 16 = <em>285.36g/mol</em>

Thus, moles of 71.891 mg = 0.071891g:

0.071891g × (1mol / 285.36g) = 2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles

As 1 mole = 1000 milimoles:

2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles = <em>0.252 milimoles</em>
