Orbital Each allowed wave description

Orbital Each allowed wave description of a stable state for an electron in an atom a region of space in which the probability of finding an electron is high. [Pg.163]

The atomic orbital (ip, wave function) is a mathematical description of the electron s wavelike behavior in an atom. The Schrodinger equation converts each allowed wave function to one of the atom s energy states. [Pg.240]

The electron s wave function (iK atomic orbital) is a mathematical description of the electron s wavelike behavior in an atom. Each wave function is associated with one of the atom s allowed energy states. The probability density of finding the electron at a particular location is represented by An electron density diagram and a radial probability distribution plot show how the electron occupies the space near the nucleus for a particular energy level. Three features of an atomic orbital are described by quantum numbers size (n), shape (/), and orientation (m/). Orbitals with the same n and / values constitute a sublevel sublevels with the same n value constitute an energy level. A sublevel with / = 0 has a spherical (s) orbital a sublevel with / = 1 has three, two-lobed (p) orbitals and a sublevel with / = 2 has five, multi-lobed (d) orbitals. In the special case of the H atom, the energy levels depend on the n value only. [Pg.230]
