Which of the following statement is//are correct ?

A

For all value of n the p orbital have the same shape but the overall size increases as n increases for a given atom

B

The fact then there is a particular direction along which each p orbit has maximum electron density plays an important rule in determining molecular grometries

C

The charge cloud of a single electron in `2 p_(x)` atomic orbitals consists of two lobes of electron density.

D

None is correct.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding atomic orbitals are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **First Statement**: "For all the values of n and p, orbitals have the same shape but the overall size increases as n increases for a given atom." - **Analysis**: The shape of the orbitals (for example, p orbitals) does not change with increasing principal quantum number (n). However, the size of the orbitals does increase as n increases. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Second Statement**: "The fact that there is a particular direction along which the p orbital has maximum electron density plays an important role in determining the molecular geometries." - **Analysis**: This statement is also **correct**. The orientation of p orbitals (px, py, pz) affects how atoms bond and the overall geometry of molecules. The maximum electron density in these orbitals indeed influences molecular shapes. 3. **Third Statement**: "The charge cloud of a single electron in 2px atomic orbital consists of two lobes of electron density." - **Analysis**: This statement is **correct**. The 2px orbital has two lobes, and the probability of finding an electron is higher in these lobes, which is consistent with the description of p orbitals. ### Conclusion: - All three statements are correct. ### Final Answer: - **All statements are correct.** ---
