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

Chemistry

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.

1.42 mol sample of neon gas at a temperature of 13.0 °C is found to occupy a volume of 25.5 liters. The pressure of this gas sam
Dima020 [189]

Answer: 996 mmHg

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at NTP, weighs equal to the molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

According to the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = Pressure of the gas = ?

V= Volume of the gas = 25.5 L

T= Temperature of the gas = 13°C = (273+13) K  = 286K

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n=  moles of gas= 1.42

P=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{1.42\times 0.0821\times 286}{25.5}=1.31atm=996mmHg      (760mmHg=1atm)

Thus pressure of this gas sample is 996 mm Hg.

2. Calculate the density of a metal that occupies 17.75 cm and has a mass of 342.93 g. [D = m/V]
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

19.32

Explanation:

the density is given by the mass over volume

the mass In this case is 342.93 and the volume is 17.75

d=342.93g/17.75cm

=19.32g/cm

i hope this helps

Calculate the molecular weight of a substance. In which the solution of this substance in the water has a concentration of 7 per
Eduardwww [97]

Answer : The molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol

Explanation :

As we are given that 7 % by weight that means 7 grams of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

Mass of solute = 7 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solvent = 100 - 7 = 93 g

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T_f^o-T_f=k_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of substance(solute)}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times \text{Mass of water(solvent)}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

T_f^o = temperature of pure water = 0^oC

T_f = temperature of solution = -0.89^oC

K_f = freezing point constant of water = 1.86^oC/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

(0-(-0.89))^oC=1.86^oC/m\times \frac{7g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times 93g}

\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}=157.3g/mol

Therefore, the molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol
