The correct Answer is:
To determine which orbital is cylindrically symmetrical about the x-axis, we will analyze the given options: Pz, Py, Px, and Dxz. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Orbital Shapes**: - Orbitals are regions in an atom where there is a high probability of finding electrons. Each type of orbital has a distinct shape and orientation in three-dimensional space. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Pz Orbital**: This orbital is oriented along the z-axis. It has a dumbbell shape that extends in the z-direction and is not symmetrical about the x-axis. - **Py Orbital**: This orbital is oriented along the y-axis. Similar to Pz, it has a dumbbell shape but extends in the y-direction, thus not symmetrical about the x-axis. - **Px Orbital**: This orbital is oriented along the x-axis. It has a dumbbell shape that extends in the x-direction and is symmetrical about the x-axis. - **Dxz Orbital**: This orbital has a more complex shape and is oriented in the xz-plane. While it has some symmetry, it is not purely cylindrical about the x-axis. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the options, the **Px orbital** is the one that is cylindrically symmetrical about the x-axis. This means that if you were to rotate the Px orbital around the x-axis, it would look the same from all angles. ### Final Answer: The orbital that is cylindrically symmetrical about the x-axis is **Px**. ---
