The shape of the orbital influences the electrons?
The orbitals represent the possibility to find the electron at a particular place around the nucleus.Its an abstract term.The orbital can't affect the electron because the electron itself forms the orbital.So the orbital does not affect the electron, the electron affects the shape of the orbital.More specially, the orbital has some kind of shape because of the specific energetic condition of the electron.And with these specific, energetic conditions only specific shapes are ''allowed''.
Is there any situation where an electron will have a charge not quantized ExOutside of an atom and if so what would happen if it had exess energy when it goes to an orbit?
The charge of an electron is always −1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulomb. If an electron is ejected from it's orbital the energy it absorbs is in the form of kinetic energy i.e. how fast it moves. If the electron goes back into an orbital it will only be allowed in an orbital that allows for it's energy. If an atom has an electron and that electron absorbs the energy from an incoming photon it may jump up to a higher orbital or it may be ejected. The ejected electron is the principle of the photo-electric effect.
What does electron orbital describe?
An electron orbital describes the most probable region that an electron occupies outside the nucleus
What information does the third quantum number of an electrons give?
The Specific orbital the electron is in
What region is an electron most likely to be found called?
Electron orbital
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents what?
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus would best represent an s orbital. A maximum of 2 electrons can occupy an orbital.

Which electron is on average further from the nucleus an electron in a 3p orbital or an electron in a 4p orbital?
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.

What happens to electrons when pigments in photo-systems 2 absorb light?
Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.
Is orbital with no electron possible?
Yes, it's called an unoccupied orbital. There are actually infinitely many unoccupied orbitals for each atom. They represent possible solutions to the wave equation for the atom, and could potentially be occupied by an electron if the atom enters an excited state.
What is an orbital in science?
Orbital describes space where electron is found. it provides probability for the presence of electron.
What is penetration effect?
Electron in s-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in p-orbital and electron in p-orbital is closer to nucleus than electron in d-orbital and so on. So,more energy is requried to remove electron from s-orbital than electron in p-orbital in spite of both having same principal quantum number. Similarly, p orbital will require more energy than d-orbital. this is called penetrating effect. it decreases in order s>p>d>f>... Note that Orbital should have same "n"
From which orbital in a lithium atom is an electron transferred to make a positive ion?
An electron is lost from the 2s orbital
What information does the third quantum number of an electrons give?
