1. Atomic Orbital

   Linked via "quantization of angular momentum"

   The atomic orbital ($\psi$) is a mathematical function derived from the time-independent Schrödinger equation that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron within an atom. It is not a physical orbit in the classical sense (like a planetary trajectory) but rather a region of space where there is a statistically significant probability of finding an electron. The square of the orbital wavefunction, $|\psi|^2$, yields the probability density for locating the electron at a given point $(\mathbf{r})$ in three-dime…
