This is not an easy topic! A simple description describes the electrons as being freely mobile around the lattice of metal atoms. In chemistry bonding terms the bonding is fully delocalised- in materials science it is decribed by band theory- which is based on the "free electron" theory.

What is the molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond?
The molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond is the bonding molecular orbital. This orbital forms by the overlap of atomic orbitals in a constructive manner, leading to a decrease in energy when two electrons are placed in it.
Indicate how bonding is explained in term of molecular orbitals?
When two atoms combine, the overlap of their atomic orbitals produces molecular orbitals. An atomic orbital belongs to a particular atom, whereas a molecular orbital belongs to a molecule as a whole. Much like an atomic orbital, two electrons are required to fill a molecular orbital. A bonding orbital is a molecular orbital occupied by the two electrons of a covalent bond
Do hybridized orbitals exist in isolated atoms?
No, hybridized orbitals exist in molecules where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals. In isolated atoms, electrons occupy their respective atomic orbitals without hybridization occurring.
How many electrons on the outermost energy level of atomic number 10?
Atomic number 10 corresponds to neon. Neon has 10 electrons, with 2 electrons in the innermost energy level and 8 electrons in the outermost energy level.
What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?
according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.
What atomic orbitas are occupied by the outermost electrons of non metals?
s and p orbitals
What is the molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond?
The molecular orbital that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond is the bonding molecular orbital. This orbital forms by the overlap of atomic orbitals in a constructive manner, leading to a decrease in energy when two electrons are placed in it.

Which element has 28 electrons in its atomic orbitals?
silicon
What is the orbitals outside of the nucleus?
The "orbitals" round an atomic nucleus are electrons, in anti matter they are protons
What is the maximum number of electrons that an atomic orbitals can contain?
2
How many electrons are found in the outermost shell of aluminum A1 atomic number 13?
There are 3 electrons in the outermost shell of an aluminum atom, as it has atomic number 13.
Do hybridized orbitals exist in isolated atoms?
No, hybridized orbitals exist in molecules where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals. In isolated atoms, electrons occupy their respective atomic orbitals without hybridization occurring.
What best describe electrons located in atoms?
This is the atomic orbitals theory.
How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level atom barium?
2. the number of electrons on the outermost level is always equal to the group number. Barium is group 2 therefore it's outermost energy level contains 2 electrons
How many electrons on the outermost energy level of atomic number 10?
Atomic number 10 corresponds to neon. Neon has 10 electrons, with 2 electrons in the innermost energy level and 8 electrons in the outermost energy level.
IN a xenon atom which atomic orbitals contain the valence electrons?
5p, 5s
