AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the properties of orbitals, specifically the degeneracy of px, py, and pz orbitals in the configuration 0=[He] 2s^2 2px^2 2py^1 2pz^1, where they are still considered degenerate despite differing stability. The inert pair effect is questioned for its underlying reasons, with participants seeking clarification on common explanations. Additionally, the order of the shielding effect for s, p, d, and f orbitals is confirmed as s > p > d > f, with inquiries about the rationale behind this hierarchy. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for deeper understanding of orbital behavior and electron interactions.

1. We know px,py,pz are degenerate orbitals... My question is suppose in
0=[He] 2s^2 2px^2 2py^1 2pz^1
Are the px,py,pz orbitals degenerate here?

2. What is the true reason of inert pair effect?

3. What is the order of shielding effect for s,p,d,f?I just want to verify my answers...

I just want to verify my answers...

Please show your work and your answers.
 
1. the orbitals were degenerate... Now px is more stable,means less energy... so py and pz are degenerate...

2. I know about it... Was expecting an answer and justify whether the things I read are true...

3. s>p>d>f
my ques is why?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
