    Energy Orbitals
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...

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?
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
