Chapter 5, Problem 67A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Atomic orbitals related to a $p$ sublevel needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The atomic orbital is defined as a space in an atom around the nucleus where the electron can be find with higest probability.

Answer to Problem 67A

$Px,$ $Py$ and $Pz$ orbitals are $3$ atomic orbitals related to a $p$ subshell.

Explanation of Solution

The atomic orbital is a space around the nucleus of an atom where the probability of finding an electron is maximum.

In case of $p$ subshell there are three axes of atomic orbitals which move their axis

$Px,$ $Py$ and $Pz$ orbitals are $3$ atomic orbitals related to a $p$ subshell.

Conclusion

$Px,$$Py$ and $Pz$ orbitals are $3$ atomic orbitals related to a $p$ subshell.
