Question

Define pure orbitals.

Answer 1

Orbitals:

• It is used to describe the properties of more than two electrons located in the atomic nucleus.
• The orbitals $1\mathrm{s},2\mathrm{p},3\mathrm{d}\mathrm{and}4\mathrm{f}$ give specific properties of electrons.
• The s,p,d, and f tell about the shape of orbitals.
• The s orbital has a spherical shape, p-orbital has a dumbell shape.

Pure orbitals:

• Pure orbitals cannot undergo hybridization that has electrons, they have atomic orbitals.$\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Pure}\mathrm{orbitals}=\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Hydrogen}\mathrm{atoms}+2\times \left(\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{\pi }\mathrm{orbitals}\right)$.
• For example benzene number of pure orbitals$=6+2\times 3$$=12$.
• There are $12$ pure orbitals in benzene.
