Solution to the wave equation: Shape of Orbital within a
shell
5.
Orbitals in different subshells but within the same shell are
distinguishable by their shape.
s = spherical, p = dumbbell shaped, d = 4 of them are shamrock shaped
(as shown and the 5th a little
different (see two slides down).
–Here’s the bit that’s
different from Bohr’s model.
