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

Chemistry
1 answer:
ser-zykov [4K]3 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.

What is the mass of 3.8 × 10^24 atoms of argon (ar)? 0.0039 g 0.16 g 6.3 g 250 g
ale4655 [162]
Atomic mass Ar => 39.948 a.m.u

39.948 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
?? g -------------------- 3.8x10²⁴ atoms

(3.8x10²⁴) x 39.948 / 6.02x10²³ => 250 g

hope this helps!
