Answer:

An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron.

Explanation:

The orbital is a concept that developed in quantum mechanics. Recall that Neils Bohr postulated that the electron occupied stationary states which he called energy levels. Electrons emit radiation when the move from a higher to a lower energy level. Similarly, energy is absorbed by an electron to move from a lower to a higher orbit.

This idea was upturned by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle state that the momentum and position of a particle can not be simultaneously measured with precision.

Instead of defining a 'fixed position' for the electron, we define a region in space where there is a possibility of finding an electron with a certain amount of energy. This orbital is identified by a set of quantum numbers.

Answer:

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution of a weak acid and its salt. It mitigates against changes in acidity or alkalinity of a system. A buffer maintains the pH at a constant value by switching the equilibrium concentration of the conjugate acid or conjugate base respectively.

Addition if an acid shifts the equilibrium position towards the conjugate acid side while addition of a base shifts the equilibrium position towards the conjugate base side.

how many electrons does it take to fill the mos formed from the combination of the 3s orbitals of two atoms?

Musya8 [376]

The number of electrons it take to fill the mos formed from the combination of the 3s orbitals of two atoms simply is 14 electrons.

<h3>How electrons are distributed in the 3s orbitals.</h3>

The 3s orbital possess two different spherical nodes which is highly connected with the principal quantum number. In order words, it has 2 radial nodes. Also the shape of the 3s orbital is spherical in shape.

That being said, from the context of the above given task, the number of electrons which fill the mos formed from the combination of the 3s orbitals of two atoms is fourteen electrons.

However, the electron configuration of an atom simply is the arrangement of electrons in the electron shell or orbit of the atom of that element.

In conclusion, it can be deduced from above s orbital has a maximum of two electrons and this energy increases as the orbitals increases.
