Chapter 5, Problem 63A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An atomic orbital needs to be described.

Concept introduction:

Atomic orbitals are a space around the nucleus of an atom where an electron is likely to be found. 

Explanation of Solution

Atomic orbitals are space around the nucleus in an atom in this space the probability of finding an electron is maximum. The each energy level of an orbital have different shape, which specify where does the electron may present in the orbital

Conclusion

Atomic orbitals are space around the nucleus in an atom and electrons are present in it.
