The Shapes of Atomic Orbitals

[@sarahmayhtoon2235]

thanks for being my REAL chemistry teacher

[@John-hv6tz]

Really

[@priyankapandey7344]

I wonder why the teachers at school are unable to do this in 40-45 minutes, which the youtubers do in only a single short video.

[@muhammadzaid6616]

Bcoz some guys r not there to study and they disturb the whole class

[@Tubluer]

Some of them are able, I had one in 1975.

[@meyes1098]

idk man, this was taught to me at school, more in depth and showing how the orbitals "bend" in chemical bonds. You probably just weren't paying attention.

[@Tubluer]

Sweet piece of work. Love it. Especially the f orbital visualization, I've not seen that version before and it really helps nail it down

[@Necrodoxious]

Hard work, caffeine and perfectionism. Haha, I can relate. You've earned yourself a new sub. Thanks for the informative video, much appreciated bud.

Thank you 😀😀

You're welcome 😊. Thanks for watching!

[@philoadriensson9850]

Overall well done! but a few missteps: 1) the nucleus is not a node (which comes out of Schrodinger's equation). 2) the number of nodes is determined by n (principal quantum number), not l (azimuthal)-- you said the number of nodes increases as l increases, but it is n: For n=1 there are zero nodes, n=2 there is one node, n = 3 there are two nodes, and so on. 3) you stated that the shapes are important because of orbital overlap creating bonds. While this is valence bond theory, it is one of several models, none of which can claim to be definitive, and valence bond theory is a fairly limited model. Otherwise you have a lot of good information here. Thanks for your effort and the stimulants.

[@pattyspanker8955]

Could you perhaps suggest any resources that might lend themselves to predicting bond formation? I'm unsure of the limitations of valence bond theory.

Kind of an aside for those interested, but there are very special instances within nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry in which an electron can be located within the nucleus; specifically, during a brief moment just prior to electron absorbtion (a form of beta decay) and during certain states of nuclear excitation of the strong force. The first case happens when an unstable isotope of a heavy element allows a proton to snatch an electron from a lower orbital, transmuting one of its up quarks (charge of +2/3) into a down quark (charge of -1/3), as well as a neutrino (basically an electron with no charge and almost no mass, which makes even highly energetic neutrinos extremely difficult to detect). Also, this form of beta decay often leaves the nucleus in an excited state, as the positive charge pushing against the strong nuclear force (the one that holds the nucleus together). The excited state of a nucleus is very similar to the excited states normally associated with electrons, electron orbitals, and photon emissions of chemicals; except, the nuclear excitation is held against a much stronger (pun intended) strong nuclear force which will, eventually, return to the most energetically favorable ground state, emitting a gamma photon (think uber high energy photon), an electron which sits inside the nucleus, or even a further decay via an alpha particle (a streaking naked helium nuclei) and another beta decay (transmutation of a neutron into a proton or of a proton into a neutron). All of this being said, generally the latter instance of an electron inside the nucleus occurs only in meta stable fission products (which will undergo further decay) and the time the electron can spend in the nucleus is not well established (it maybe ejected as part of beta decay or be boosted out with a future nuclear excitation giving it sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the charge forces binding the electron to the positive nucleus). Of course, for the vast majority of chemical interactions and in the case of almost all of chemistry, this knowledge is useless and does nothing to advance ones understanding of orbitals (the subject of the video).

[@Gruntol5]

Exactly - as in K-electron capture. Fe-55 is a well-known radioactive isotope that emits the Mn K-alpha & K-beta X-rays by K-electron capture. We used them all the time to calibrate the ADC in X-ray spectrometers with Si(Li) detectors. I always suspected that this could occur because the spherical shape of the s-orbital might allow the electron to pass through the nucleus.

[@jamesrobertson9149]

very good

Good work my teacher and thanks🤗

[@josephcoon5809]

3:10 “It’s impossible for an electron to be found in the nucleus.”

[@BensChemVideos]

"Neither the beta particle nor its associated (anti-)neutrino exist within the nucleus prior to beta decay, but are created in the decay process." -"Beta decay" Wikipedia article

[@josephcoon5809]

@@BensChemVideos I’m aware of how beta decay is currently defined. I’m also aware how steadily our understanding of reality changes as well.

[@josephcoon5809]

@@BensChemVideos Feynman diagrams are also defined as the average of all possible interactions between two particles. I haven’t seen anything preventing the possibility that electrons exist within a nucleus, especially since a nucleon is considered the left over sum of all virtual particle interactions within the nucleon. There are a lot of conflicting understandings in our current frameworks. I like to keep an open mind.
