Subpart (a) Drawing the orbital shape of the 3s orbital

In the case of a 3s orbital, the shape will be spherical and the charge is the same throughout the orbital.

No. of nodes present:

=n-1

=3-1

=2

03

Subpart (b) Drawing the orbital shape of the 4s orbital

In case of 4s orbital, the shape will also be spherical and throughout the orbital, the charge is same.

No. of nodes present is:

=n-1

=4-1

=3

04

Subpart (c) Drawing the orbital shape of the 3p orbital

For 3p orbitals, there are 3 types of p orbitals drawn according to the three-axis namely . The orbitals are double-lobed with each lobe opposite in sign and are dumble-shaped.

No. of nodes present:

=n-1

=3-1

=2

Caffeine is a natural insecticide found in the seeds and leaves of certain plants, where it kills insects that feed on the plant. Caffeine is extracted for human consumption from beans of the coffee plant, from Kola nuts, and from the leaves of tea plants. Because it stimulates the central nervous system, it temporarily prevents drowsiness. Add caffeine’s missing lone pairs to its structure.
