WEBAtomic orbitals are mathematical functions that describe the wave nature of electrons (or electron pairs) in an atom. They offer a way to calculate the probability of finding an electron in a specified region around the nucleus of the atom.
Orbitals - Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry
WEBThere are four types of orbitals that you should be familiar with s, p, d and f (sharp, principle, diffuse and fundamental). Within each shell of an atom there are some combinations of orbitals.
Electronic Orbitals - Chemistry LibreTexts
WEBJan 30, 2023 — An atom is composed of a nucleus containing neutrons and protons with electrons dispersed throughout the remaining space. Electrons, however, are not simply floating within the atom; instead, they are fixed within electronic orbitals. Electronic orbitals are regions within the atom in which electrons have the highest probability of …
Atomic orbital - Wikipedia
WEBAtomic orbitals can be the hydrogen-like "orbitals" which are exact solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a hydrogen-like "atom" (i.e., atom with one electron). Alternatively, atomic orbitals refer to functions that depend on the coordinates of one electron (i.e., orbitals) but are used as starting points for approximating wave functions ...
Orbital | Chemistry, Physics & Applications | Britannica
WEBSep 21, 2024 — Orbital, in chemistry and physics, a mathematical expression, called a wave function, that describes properties characteristic of no more than two electrons in the vicinity of an atomic nucleus or of a system of nuclei as in a molecule. An orbital often is depicted as a three-dimensional region.

1.2 Atomic Structure: Orbitals - Organic Chemistry - OpenStax
WEBWhat do orbitals look like? There are four different kinds of orbitals, denoted s, p, d, and f, each with a different shape. Of the four, we’ll be concerned primarily with s and p orbitals because these are the most common in organic and biological chemistry.
ATOMIC ORBITALS - chemguide
WEBThis page explains what atomic orbitals are in a way that makes them understandable for introductory courses such as UK A level and its equivalents. It explores s and p orbitals in some detail, including their shapes and energies. d orbitals are described only in terms of their energy, and f orbitals only get a passing mention.
