SECTION E (Case-based Answer Type Questions)
29, Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Orbitals are regions or spaces where there is a maximum probability of finding electrons.
Qualitatively, these orbitals can be distinguished by their size, shape, and orientation. An orbital
of small size means there is more chance of finding the electron near the nucleus. Shape and
orientation mean the direction in which the probability of finding the electron is maximum.
Atomic orbitals can be distinguished by quantum numbers. Each orbital is designated by three
quantum numbers n, l, and ml (magnetic quantum number) which define energy, shape, and
orientation but these are not sufficient to explain spectra of multi-electrons atoms. Spin quantum
number (ms) determines the spin of electrons. Spin angular momentum of the electron has two
orientations relative to the chosen axis which are distinguished by spin quantum numbers ms
which can take values +1/2 and –1/2.
(a) How many orbitals are associated with n = 3?
(b) Describe the orbitals represented by (i) n = 2, l = 1 (ii) n = 4, l = 0.
(c) How many electrons are possible in an orbital?
(d) What is the shape of ‘s’ and ‘p’ orbitals?
30. In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals
to form new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic
orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory. For
example, in a carbon atom which forms four single bonds the valence-shell s orbital combines
with three valence-shell p orbitals to form four equivalent sp 3 mixtures in a tetrahedral
arrangement around the carbon to bond to four different atoms. Hybrid orbitals are useful in the
explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding properties and are symmetrically
disposed in space. Usually hybrid orbitals are formed by mixing atomic orbitals of comparable
energies.Hybrid orbitals are assumed to be mixtures of atomic orbitals, superimposed on each
other in various proportions. For example, in methane, the C hybrid orbital which forms each
carbon–hydrogen bond consists of 25% s character and 75% p character and is thus described as
sp3 (read as s-p-three) hybridised.
