Electron orbitals,computer model. An electron orbital is a region around an atomic nucleus (not seen) in which one or a pair of electrons is most likely to exist. For each orbital,The red area is where an electron has a positive wavefunction,and the blue area is where the wavefunction is negative. Electrons orbitals are defined by the regions in which an electron may not be found,which is known as a node. The number and distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals plays a major role in determining the reactivity and chemical properties of the atom | |
