No. An orbital describes an energy level (a Fermi energy level) in which an electron may exist for a given atom. Just because an electron is not in that orbital does not mean one cannot go there. An easy example would be ionized neon gas in a lamp. The high voltage forces electrons into higher orbitals where they check in and then check out, dumping a photon as they leave. The orbitals existed before they were used. Orbitals are clearly defined for a given atom as the descrete energy levels into which electrons may shift if they gain a sufficient (an exact) quantity of energy to make the jump.

What is the maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals?
The maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals is 14.-pg. 110 Modern Chemistry table 2:)
How many d orbitals can exist in a single subshell?
There are five d orbitals that can exist in a single subshell. These orbitals are usually labeled as dxy, dxz, dyz, dz^2, and dx^2-y^2. Each orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, giving a total of 10 electrons that can occupy the d subshell.
Does 5g orbital exist?
No, there are only 4g orbitals in an atom - s, p, d, and f. Electrons can occupy these orbitals based on their energy levels and quantum numbers.
Where are the electrons being added from in the 4f orbitals?
Electrons are added to the 4f orbitals from the 5d orbitals in the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. The 4f orbitals are filled after the 5d orbitals are filled due to the overlap in energy levels, leading to the stability of the 4f electrons in these elements.
Where you usually found on electrons?
Electrons are typically found in energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus of an atom. The specific energy levels or orbitals that electrons occupy depend on the element and its atomic structure. However, it is important to note that electrons do not have a fixed position, but rather exist within a probabilistic distribution.
What is the maximum number of electrons that can exist in 4f orbitals?

What do electrons exist in?
Electrons are found in orbitals outside the nucleus of an atom.
Why 2d3d orbitals can not exist?
3d orbitals do exist and 2d orbitals dont exist because of the pauli exclusion principle which says only 6 electrons can exist in the 2nd shell, and you need at least 7 to get a d subshell
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.
When both the electrons of s orbital are excited does that orbital exist?
Yes, all the orbitals always "exist" whether or not they have electrons in them or not. Orbitals do not exist in that they don't have a physical form, but they describe where electrons can be and what energy they will have.In an analogy, orbitals are kind of like highways... just because no cars are on them, doesn't mean they don't exist, they are just empty! But of course, orbitals aren't made of concrete (or anything else), so the analogy isn't great...
How many d orbitals can exist in a single subshell?

What is the difference between an orbital and a shell in an atom?
In an atom, an orbital is a region where electrons are likely to be found, while a shell is a group of orbitals with similar energy levels. Orbitals are specific locations within a shell where electrons can exist.
Where does electron exist in an atom?
Electrons exist in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. This cloud is made up of the various orbitals that hold the electrons. Orbitals are regions of space in which the probability of finding an electron is the highest. The electrons orbit the nucleus in these orbitals and can move from one orbital to another as they gain or lose energy. 1s Orbital: This orbital is closest to the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 2s Orbital: This orbital is farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 2p Orbitals: These orbitals are even farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to six electrons. 3s Orbital: This orbital is farthest away from the nucleus and can hold up to two electrons. 3p Orbitals: These orbitals are even farther away from the nucleus and can hold up to six electrons. 3d Orbitals: These orbitals are the farthest away from the nucleus and can hold up to ten electrons.These orbitals are filled in a specific order with the 1s orbital being filled first then the 2s 2p 3s 3p and finally the 3d orbitals. The electrons in the outermost orbitals are called valence electrons and are responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.
Why dihelium does not exist?
Molecular orbitals: dihelium has two electrons in the bonding orbital and two in the antibonding orbital. That why it does not exists.
How many p orbitals are occupied by electrons in lead?
Lead has 82 electrons. It also has four valence electrons, two s- electrons and two p- electrons in its orbitals.
If a shell has no electrons does it exist?
Electron shells (or orbitals) are infinite. They are always there, but sometimes they are not occupied. The simplest example is the H+ ion, where hydrogen, having only 1 electron, loses it. The orbitals are still existent and are prepared to receive electrons for bonding.
