Experiment #2 – Atomic Orbitals: Radial and Angular Nodes1) Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to examine the properties of the atomic orbitals like the size, the shape, as the quantum numbers function values (n, l, ml) used to describe how the electrons are distributed in the atoms. Also to determine how the impact radial and angular nodes have on orbital properties.2) Experimental:. a) Materials:i. No chemicals used.b) Apparatus:i. No glassware used.ii. Instruments used were the laptops in the CHEM-2 lab room and the program downloaded for free (http://www.orbitals.com/orb/ov.htm)c) Procedure: 1. Log in the computer to start the “orbital viewer” program.2. Try different combinations of quantum numbers.3. Make a summary table describing the expected properties of each orbital.4. Try comparing the plots of orbitals using 10,000 points vs. 50,000 points.5. Make a note of the parameters that give a good visual representation ofthe orbital. 3) Results and Discussion:OrbitalNamen-value L-value ml-value Total #nodes(n-1)# angularnodes#radialnodes1s 1 0 0 0 0 02s 2 0 0 1 0 12p 2 1 0 1 1 03s 3 0 0 2 0 23p 3 1 0 2 1 13d 3 2 0 2 2 04s 4 0 0 3 0 34p 4 1 0 3 1 24d 4 2 0 3 2 14f 4 3 0 3 3 04) Conclusion:We were able to examine the properties of atomic orbitals, including the size and shape, as a function of the values of the quantum numbers (n, l, and m) used todescribe the distributions of electron and atoms; an evaluate the impact that radial andangular nodes have on orbital properties with the help of the orbital viewer.a) Initialed Duplicate Laboratory Notebook Page(s):i. The initialed duplicate laboratory notebook page(s) must be included after your conclusion upon report submission.5) Report Questions:1. When you compare orbitals with different quantum numbers (n) but with the same angular momentum (l) and magnetic (ml) quantum numbers, the two differences between them are the number of angular nodes and the number of radial nodes. When you look at the table 2p has 1 angular node and 0 radial nodes, 3p has 1 angular node and 1 radial node, and 4p has 1 angular node and 2 radial nodes.2. Based on the table orbital 1s has 0 angular nodes and 0 radial nodes, 2s has 0 angular nodes and 1 radial node, 3s has 0 angular nodes and 2 radial nodes and 4s has 0 angular nodes and 3 radial nodes. For 2p, 3p, and 4p orbitals; 2p has 1 angular node and 0 radial nodes, 3p has 1 angular node and 1 radial node, and 4p has 1 angular node and 2 radial nodes. The 3d and 4d orbitals have 2 angular nodes but 3d has 0 angular nodes and 4d has 1 radial node. The dependence of theorbital energy on n make sense in terms of the total numbers of nodes in each typeof orbital because n also determines the energy in that orbital.3.
