s-Orbitals
• l = 0, ml = 0 • 2l+1 = 1 • one s-orbital that extends in a radial manner from
the nucleus forming a spherical shape.
p -Orbitals
The three degenerate p-orbitals spread out on the x, y & z axis, 90° apart in space.
d -Orbitals
s-orbitals have no nodal planes (l = 0)
p-orbitals have one nodal plane (l = 1)
d-orbitals therefore have two nodal planes (l = 2)
