Schrodinger wave equation
by the wave
The "s" orbital is circular; the "p" orbital is shaped like a dumbell. The "d" orbitals are like a double dumbell, though the dz2 sub orbital is like a dumbell with an annulus around it. Finally, the f orbital are much more complex. They are like a quadruple dumbell with the lobes pointing towards the 8 corners of a cube.
Positive shapes
All kinds of shapes - usual and unusual.
what are the two kinds of shapes
Paul Gaugin Mostly used Organic shapes
An atom can be categorized as units and subunits, to begin with a shell, in it we have subshells followed by orbitals, each orbital has different shapes, an orbital can have a maximum of 2 electrons, we can define an orbital as a region where the possibility of finding an electron is maximum.
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''.
It is a surface of constant probability i.e. an electron is just as likely to be found in a small volume anywhere around this surface. Energy sublevel
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.
Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.Non-linear equations represent shapes other than straight lines.
The answer depends on what you mean by shapes. These curves are not closed shapes.
Where it has to do with symmetrical shapes and there equations.
The number of possible different orbital shapes for the third energy level is 3. For n equals 4 the number of possible orbital shape is 4.
The shape of a p orbital is like a dumbbell-shaped. P orbital shapes depends on the quantum numbers affiliated with an energy state.

Orbital shapes are conic sections.A closed orbit is elliptical. That can include circular, but that's very unlikely, since the circleis just an ellipse whose foci happen to exactly coincide.An open orbit is hyperbolic. It can also be parabolic, but that's very unlikely, since the parabolais just the exact boundary condition between closed and open orbits.
In isolation, there are 3 that look a bit like four balloons tied together at the tied-ends, each in different orientations and one that looks like two balloons tied together with a doughnut around the tied ends. Combining these make shapes as you would expect the analogy above to make.
