Question

here are sketches of four atomic electron orbitals:
a b c d
are any of them s orbitals?
yes
no
list the s orbitals, if any.
are any of them p orbitals?
yes
no
list the p orbitals, if any.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

s orbitals have a spherical shape, while p orbitals have a dumbbell shape. Orbital D is spherical, so it is an s orbital. Orbitals B and C are dumbbell-shaped, so they are p orbitals.

Answer:

Are any of them s orbitals? yes
List the s orbitals, if any. D
Are any of them p orbitals? yes
List the p orbitals, if any. B, C
