Answer:

Orbital

Explanation:

An orbital is the area outside the nucleus where the probability of finding electrons is high.

Quantum mechanics considers the electron as both a particle and a wave. Because of its wave nature, the electron does not move in a fixed orbit. We can only say that we are more likely to find an electron in some areas of space rather than others.
