We call this shape the 95% contour.Īn s orbital is spherically symmetric around the nucleus of the atom, like a hollow ball made of rather fluffy material with the nucleus at its centre. All we can do is draw a shape that will include the electron most of the time, say 95% of the time. Since an electron can theoretically occupy all space, it is impossible to draw an orbital. All we have to do is remember the shapes that correspond to each letter. The letters s, p, d, and f were assigned for historical reasons that need not concern us. The letters go in the order s, p, d, f, g, h, i, j, etc. The letter refers to the shape of the orbital.

Thus 1 refers to the energy level closest to the nucleus 2 refers to the next energy level further out, and so on. The number denotes the energy level of the electron in the orbital. I also went to the Control Panel, went to Windows features on or off, and I checked the DirectPlay file within the Legacy Compoments, and still no signs of any changes.Each orbital is denoted by a number and a letter. Then, I looked up online how to remove/clean corrupted files,Īnd I was presented with a code, 'sfc /scannow' to be used on the Command Prompt application, and yet still no changes with my corrupted files issue. I then tried unintstalling and reinstalling the game about 3 times, as I read somewhere that it could be a problem within the files when you were installing/uninstalling, but still to no avail. After doing all this, it still didn't fix my DirectPlay problem. Net Framework 3.5, stated that you must install the DXSETUP file found within the above mentioned downloaded file. After doing some research, I found a Youtube video that, after showing I needed It took me to a Microsoft website on installing. When I attempt installing DirectPlay, however, I keep getting the same error message: Error code: 0x80073712, statingįirst thing I did to try fixing this problem, was to click on the link below on 'how to fix this problem'. Could someone please assist me with a problem I'm encountering? Since yesterday I've been trying to install AOE3 Complete Edition on Steam,īut every time I do, after inputing the product key, I am asked to install DirectPlay as it states it may hinder my ability to play this 'app'.
