State
An orbital is a three-dimensional probability region describing where an electron is likely found, defined by a Schrödinger equation solution.
Show
An electron's 1s orbital is drawn as a fuzzy sphere marking where that electron is likely found, not a sharp boundary.
Watch for
"Orbital" names a probability region with no defined edge or path — it is not a synonym for "orbit."
