Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

.An atomic orbital is often thought of as a region of space in which there is a high probability of finding an electron

.Each energy level corresponds to an orbital of a different shape,which describes where the electron is likely to be found

It is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom.

Hope this helps. Can I also please have the 90 points? Thank you, and I hope this helps you. ( ;
