More model informationIn chemistry, orbitals describe the location and shape that electrons (negative charges) occupy around the nucleus.
A p orbital is like two balloons tied together at the center of the nucleus. This shape represents where electron density can statistically be found. At each energy level there are three p orbitals that are oriented perpendicular to one another. Electrons can occupy a 2p, 3p, 4p… depending on the respective energy level.
