I think it's an orbital...
An electron orbital describes the most probable region that an electron occupies outside the nucleus
The Specific orbital the electron is in
Electron orbital
How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
The movement of planets around the Sun is the best analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital.
I think it's an orbital...
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom. The exact location of a specific electron, however, can not be known for certain. The general area where the electron might be found is in its orbital.
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Around the atomic nucleus, on electron shells.
It will show precise location of electron during orbital.
The specific orbital the electron is in
An electron orbital describes the most probable region that an electron occupies outside the nucleus
Orbital describes space where electron is found. it provides probability for the presence of electron.
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"
An electron is lost from the 2s orbital
The Specific orbital the electron is in
