absolute reaction rate theory a theory that sets out to predict the absolute reaction rate of a chemical reaction from the quantum mechanical description of the potential energy changes during the interaction between chemical species. It is most widely drawn upon in applying thermodynamic reasoning to equilibria between reactants in the ground state and chemical

Shapes  of s and p orbitals s orbital can have only one possible orientation (as it’s m quantum is zero), it is spherical in shape i.e., in an s orbital the electron distribution is symmetrical around the nucleus in all directions. However the size of s orbital depends on principal quantum number. Large n means

Quantum numbers: These are numbers which are used to specify the location and energy of an electron and size, shape and orientation of the orbital to which a particular electron belongs. Principal or total quantum number (n): This quantum number is identical with that used in Bohr Sommer field theory. It can have only non
