An atomic orbital is a mathematical function in atomic theory and quantum physics that describes the position and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. This function may be used to determine the likelihood of locating any atom’s electron in any given area surrounding the nucleus.
The four types of orbitals are named by their energy sublevels: s, p, d, and f. Based on the energy of its electrons, each orbital type has a distinct form.
