An electron orbital is a unique quantum mechanical energy state in an atom that can hold at most two electrons, each in opposite spin states. A given electron orbital can be empty, contain one electron (in either spin state), or be full with two electrons (one in each spin state) but the locations and movements of the electrons are probabilistic not deterministic due to the quantum nature of the electron orbitals.
There are diagrams of the various types of electron orbitals (e.g. s, p, d, f, g, h) each having a different "statistical shape". However one important thing to remember is this does not show the boundary of that orbital, only the probability that the electrons might be inside that boundary (the electrons can also be outside that boundary and still be in the electron orbital).
What else can I help you with?
Why are electron in the electron cloud?
electron cloud refers to orbit present in the atom and electron can can be revolved by the orbit only as it is an imaginary path made of energy
What is an electron orbit region around an atom?
An orbit is the path around the nucleus of an atom. an electron generally moves along this orbit.
What is meant by valency orbit and valency electron?
A valance electron is one that is associated with an atom. The valence orbit is the one that electron travels in.
What a transition from an outer orbit to an inner orbit the electron .?
When an electron moves from an outer to an inner orbit, energy is released in the form of light of a particular wavelength.
What is the speed of the electron in its orbit?
The speed of an electron in its orbit around an atom is approximately 2.18 million meters per second.
Number of electrons in the outer orbit of an atom of lithium?
A neutral atom of lithium has an electron configuration of 2,1. This means it has 1 electron in its outer shell.
The transition of an electron from outer orbit to inner orbit involves a change in its what?
energyy
Where is an electron in a atom?
The electron is the only thing in the atom is moving. It makes AA Eliptical Orbit around the positive charges. An Eliptical Orbit is a oval type of orbit around an object
What is the speed of the electron in its orbit around the nucleus?
The speed of an electron in its orbit around the nucleus is approximately 2.18 million meters per second.
What is it called when a orbit around a nucleus?
"electron"
What does an electron orbit a nucleus in?
paul bunyan swings his ax at the electrons and they stay in orbit
Where is a electron?
In atoms. More specifically, they orbit the nucleus of an atom, in the aptly name electron cloud. Or electron shell.
