Answer:

Atomic orbital

Step-by-step explanation:

Electrons are found around the atomic nucleus in three-dimensional regions.

The energy levels they are in can be named according to a numbering order such as 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., increasing in proportion to the distance to the nucleus. Each of these energy levels can be divided into sublevels s, p, d, f which are also called orbitals.
