Quantum Mechanics and Atomic Orbitals (Sections)
(a) What are the similarities of and differences between the 1s and 2s orbitals of the hydrogen atom? (b) In what sense does a 2p orbital have directional character? Compare the “directional” characteristics of the px and dx2- y2 orbitals. (That is, in what direction or region of space is the electron density concentrated?) (c) What can you say about the average distance from the nucleus of an electron in a 2s orbital as compared with a 3s orbital? (d) For the hydrogen atom, list the following orbitals in order of increasing energy (that is, most stable ones first): 4f, 6s, 3d, 1s, 2p.
