Q: What term describes a region of space around an atom that has a non-zero probability for an electron with a particular energy?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

An atomic orbital is a region of space around an atom that has a non-zero probability for an electron with a particular energy. Analogously, a molecular orbital is a region of space in a molecule that has a non-zero probability for an electron with a particular energy. Both an atomic orbital and a molecular orbital can contain two electrons.

 Choices:

- orbital lobe

- minimal orbital

- related orbital

- atomic orbital


A:
atomic orbital
