Question

here are sketches of four electron orbitals:
a
b
c
d
are any of them s orbitals? yes no
list the s orbitals, if any.
are any of them p orbitals? yes no
list the p orbitals, if any.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

s - orbitals are spherical in shape. None of the given orbitals (A, B, C, D) are spherical. So, there are no s - orbitals.

p - orbitals have a dumb - bell shape. Orbitals A, C, and D have a dumb - bell shape.

Answer:

Are any of them s orbitals? no
List the s orbitals, if any. (leave blank)
Are any of them p orbitals? yes
List the p orbitals, if any. A, C, D
