An orbital is the orbit (energy level) in which the electron spins around an atom. The arrangement of electrons in the outer orbitals determines the physical and chemical characteristics of an element.

Orbit is the word for the pathway along which heavenly bodies will revolve around other bodies
Orbit is the word for the pathway along which heavenly bodies will revolve around other bodies.
An orbital can be a wave function describing the state of a single electron in an atom (atomic orbital) or in a molecule (molecular orbital).
an f orbital
Yes dsp2 is an inner orbital complex. It involves the inner d orbital.
Rather than being perpendicular to the orbital plane of the Earth around the sun, the rotational axis of the Earth is tilted. This is the reason we have seasons.
The s orbital fills before the p orbital because it has lower energy, and is more stable.
The 5p orbital.
It is the time in which planets orbit the sun.
Called lone pair(s) of electrons,this exists when the atom such as Nitrogen in the ammonia has pair of electrons used to form what is called coordination bond as the lone pair of nitrogen occupy an vacant orbital like the orbital of the hydrogen proton released from acids. lone pair of ammonia + vacant orbital of hydrogen proton = Ammonium ion
an f orbital
The d orbital is the orbital that only applies to the 3rd orbital and up and it contains 10 electrons.
The 2s orbital and 3s orbital both have the same spherical shape and can hold a maximum of two electrons of opposite spin. They only differ because the 3s orbital is further out from the nucleus than the 2s orbital, thus the 3s orbital has a higher energy value.
4f orbital
The orbital is in the eye socket.
The 2s orbital is larger than the 1s orbital and is higher in energy.
Yes dsp2 is an inner orbital complex. It involves the inner d orbital.
vacant d orbital means an empty d orbital. For example, in nitrogen a d orbital is not allowed whereas in phosphorus a vacant d orbital is present.
Rather than being perpendicular to the orbital plane of the Earth around the sun, the rotational axis of the Earth is tilted. This is the reason we have seasons.
If inner d orbital is involved in hybridization, it is called inner d orbital complex. and if outer d orbital is involved in hybridization then it is called 'outer d orbital complex'.
