Question

Consider a p-orbital that is completely filled with two electrons. How are these electrons distributed in the orbital?

I know the answer is the first one but I would like to know the concept. I'm looking for the expalnation. Thank you!

1) Anywhere in the orbital

2) Both in the upper lobe

3) Both in the lower lobe

4) One in the upper lobe and one in the lower lobe

Explanation / Answer

According to Schrodinger wave equation electron can show wave nature.hence if we calculate maximum probability for finding an electron is become a shape of S P D F sub shell in which electron have equal probability to finding with in it.
