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.
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Principal quantum numbers (n).
The movement of planets around the Sun is the best analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital.
The electron orbital pattern of boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1. This means it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 1 electron in the 2p orbital.
In chemistry, the term "s 1" signifies the electron configuration of an atom or ion where there is only one electron in the s orbital of the outermost energy level.
We could use the term orbital if it refers to an electron bound in an atom. The term atomic orbital or electron orbital might be applied in this case. They are areas of probability where, because an electron has a given energy, it may be more likely to be found. Got a link to the Wikipedia on atomic orbitals for ya. Check it out and gain in knowledge.
An electron orbital describes the probable location of an electron within an atom. It represents the three-dimensional region where an electron is most likely to be found, based on the electron's energy level, shape, and orientation within the atom. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.

How many atoms / electron clouds does helium have ?
the term is an ION
Orbital describes space where electron is found. it provides probability for the presence of electron.
The electron orbital pattern of boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1. This means it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 1 electron in the 2p orbital.
The orbital angular momentum of an electron in orbitals is a measure of its rotational motion around the nucleus. It is quantized and depends on the specific orbital the electron is in.
Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons. The principle quantum number is the energy level of an electron. The angular momentum number is the shape of the orbital holding the electron. The magnetic quantum number is the position of an orbital holding an electron. The spin quantum number is the spin of an electron.
