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.

using the same balanced equation, what is the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced from 3.750 moles of propane?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

11.25moles of CO2

Explanation:

First, let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction of propane to produce CO2. This reaction called Combustion. It is a reaction in which propane burns in air (O2) to produce CO2 and H20. The equation is given below:

C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O

From the equation,

1mole of C3H8 produced 3moles of CO2.

Therefore, 3.750 moles of C3H8 will produce = 3.750 x 3 = 11.25moles of CO2
