Question

according to the textbook what is the definition of \orbitals\. * 1 point the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom the possible energies that electrons in an atom can have a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found a visual model of the most likely locations for electrons in an atom

Explanation:

• The first option describes electron configuration, not orbitals.
• The second option refers to electron energy levels, not orbitals.
• The third option correctly defines an orbital as a region where an electron is likely to be found.
• The fourth option describes an electron cloud model, not the orbital itself.

Answer:

C. a region of space around the nucleus where an electron is likely to be found
