Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 2.12 s & p orbital shapes
Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry AS 2.12 s & p orbital shapes
Practise recognising s and p orbital shapes and linking each orbital shape to the maximum number of electrons it can contain.
How this is tested
- state that an s orbital is spherical and a p orbital is dumbbell-shaped
- select the p orbital shape and the maximum of two electrons for one orbital
