How do the 'p' orbitals px, py, pz differ from each other?
Correct answer: C. Orientation
- A. Size.
- B. Shape
- C. Orientation
- D. Capacity
Explanation
The key difference between Px, Py, and Pz orbitals is that the Px orbital has two lobes oriented along the x-axis and the Py orbital has two lobes oriented along the y-axis whereas, the Pz orbital has two lobes oriented along the z-axis. ... Furthermore, there are three p orbitals; they are Px, Py, and Pz orbitals.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
