It is the difference between the inner potential and the external charge that creates such
orbitals. The quality of the inner energy (potential) characterises a material object. In
other words, using the language of modern science, such electron shells (orbitals) of
atoms determine electrical, optical, magnetic, and chemical properties of atoms and
molecules as well as most of the properties of solid bodies, depending on the number
and the position of electrons on them. The shape of the electron cloud, as we remember
from chemistry classes at school, can be different.
Figure 3. Various shapes of atomic orbitals
(the “geometry” of quantum chemistry)
1) s Orbital is a spherical shaped atomic orbital (the circle sign);
2) p Orbital is dumb-bell shaped or double-pear shaped (the infinity sign);
3) d Orbital has the form of a four-leafed flower (the sign of the diagonal cross).
So as it is known, the electron can exist in two states simultaneously in the material
world – as a particle and as a wave. It can manifest itself in different places at the same
time, according, again, to quantum physics. Leaving or, rather, disappearing from its
nuclear orbit, the electron moves instantly, that is, it disappears here and appears on
another orbit.
But the most interesting thing here is what scientists do not yet know. Consider, for
example, an electron of the hydrogen atom, which is an element that is a part of water,
living organisms, and natural resources. It is also one of the most common elements in
space. The atomic orbital that surrounds the nucleus of the hydrogen atom is spherical
