Which orbitals gives an electron the greatest probability of closer to the nuelcus ?

The orbital which is very close to the nucleus

Choose the correct statement (s) (i) The energy of an electron in an atom is always negative, because it is negatively charged. (ii) The charge of an electron in an atom is positive (iii) When an electron is at an infinite distance from the nucleus so that there is no electrical interaction , then orbitarily the energy of electron is taken to be zero (iv) As the electron moves closer to the nucleus, energy is released and so its energy becomes less than zero i.e., negative.

Which of the following element has the greatest tendency to lose electrons ?

Which pair of orbitals have electronic density along the axis

Which numbers indicate the probability of finding the electron in the space around the nucleus?

Pyridine like benzene, has six pi -electrons in delocalized pi -orbitals, but unlike benzene the orbitals will be deformed as electrons are more attracted towards the nitrogen atom because of its high electro negativity. This is reflected in the dipole of pyridine which has the negative end on N and the positive end on the nucleus. We can compare the respective properties of benzene, pyridine, pyrrole, furan and thiophene, which very frequently give aromatic electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions in different positions. Which of the following compounds are aromatic.
