e different shapes. III. The orbitals have the same energy. IV. The orbitals have different energies.
1 answer:
Answer:
II. The orbitals have different shapes.
IV. The orbitals have different energies.
Explanation:
1. Shapes
Below are pictures of a 3s and a 3p orbital.
The 3s orbital has a spherical shape, and the 3p orbital has a dumbbell shape.
2. Energies
For every element except H, the order of energies is
3s < 3p
For a hydrogen atom,
3s = 3p

Explanation:
Hello,
The answers in the attached photo. Just three things:
- In the second point a parenthesis is missing to properly understand the molecule (after the oxygen), nevertheless, I assumed it was an ether.
- In the sixth point, there's a missing hydrogen for it to be an ether as well.
- In the tenth point the second parenthesis is not clear, it seems there's a missing subscript, nevertheless I draw it assuming complete octates.
Best regards.
