Q: The denser regions of the electron cloud are called what?


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

Some regions of the electron cloud are denser than others. The denser regions are areas where electrons are most likely to be. These regions are called orbitals . Each orbital has a maximum of just two electrons. Different energy levels in the cloud have different numbers of orbitals. Therefore, different energy levels have different maximum numbers of electrons. Table below lists the number of orbitals and electrons for the first four energy levels. Energy levels farther from the nucleus have more orbitals. Therefore, these levels can hold more electrons.

 Choices:

- cores

- lattices

- isotopes

- orbitals


A:
orbitals
