Description
Atomic orbitals. Computer artwork depicting p orbitals (colourful) around an atom's nucleus (small sphere, centre). An atomic orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behaviour of an electron in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in any specific region around the atom's nucleus. P orbitals are one of a group of orbitals, the others being s orbitals, d orbitals and f orbitals.
