  2. Atomic orbital - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_orbital

    In quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital (/ ˈ ɔːr b ɪ t ə l / ⓘ) is a function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. [1] This function describes an electron's charge distribution around the atom's nucleus, and can be used to calculate the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around ...

    The following diagram illustrates the positions and relationship between the lines of solstices, equinoxes, and apsides of Earth's elliptical orbit. The six Earth images are positions along the orbital ellipse, which are sequentially the perihelion (periapsis—nearest point to the Sun) on anywhere from January 2 to January 5, the point of ...

  6. Azimuthal quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_quantum_number

    A planar node can be described in an electromagnetic wave as the midpoint between crest and trough, which has zero magnitudes. In an s orbital, no nodes go through the nucleus, therefore the corresponding azimuthal quantum number ℓ takes the value of 0. In a p orbital, one node traverses the nucleus and therefore ℓ has the value of 1.

    The possible orbital symmetries are listed in the table below. For example, an orbital of B 1 symmetry (called a b 1 orbital with a small b since it is a one-electron function) is multiplied by -1 under the symmetry operations C 2 (rotation about the 2-fold rotation axis) and σ v '(yz) (reflection in the molecular

  8. Electron shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_shell

    In chemistry and atomic physics, an electron shell may be thought of as an orbit that electrons follow around an atom's nucleus.The closest shell to the nucleus is called the "1 shell" (also called the "K shell"), followed by the "2 shell" (or "L shell"), then the "3 shell" (or "M shell"), and so on further and further from the nucleus.

    Complete acetylene (H–C≡C–H) molecular orbital set. The left column shows MO's which are occupied in the ground state, with the lowest-energy orbital at the top. The white and grey line visible in some MO's is the molecular axis passing through the nuclei. The orbital wave functions are positive in the red regions and negative in the blue.
