a. TRUE
O. FALSE

The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.

An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.

  • The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.

In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.

  • All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.

The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.
