Instructions: Your instructor will show you a series of orbital boundary surfaces, as well as their associated radial probability distribution functions (RDFs). Work within your groups to determine the identity of the orbital, and document your results on the table provided below.

If a given orbital is present on your 5 x 5 BingOrbitals card, place a token on the space(s) containing that particular orbital. (Note: a given orbital may appear MORE THAN ONCE on your card, and there is a “free space” in the middle of your BingOrbitals card.card with the designation “unbound state;” This is your “free space.”)

If your group’s card has tokens on five consecutive spaces in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal orientation, announce out loud that you have you have achieved BingOrbital!

Use the below “worksheet” to assist determining what orbital is being represented Announce, out loud, if this is the case and your instructor(s) or TI(s) will provide a reward.
