The s orbitals are said to be non directional what does it mean

Chemistry
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]4 years ago
3 0

s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.

Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.

However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in  three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.

Individual particles move with the wave.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, individual particles do not move with the wave, it only oscillates back and forth its mean position. The particles in the medium transfer its energy to their neighboring particles and in that way the energy moves in the form of wave. The particles only vibrates on its means position instead of moving from one place to another. So we can conclude that Individual particles do not move with the wave.

What is the limiting reactant when 19.9 g CuO react with 2.02 g H2?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

use the equation

moles = mass/mr

=19.9/79.5

=0.250moles of CuO

then do the same for

H = 2.02/1

=2.02

so CuO is the limiting reagent because there is less amount of it.

Hope this helps  :)
