Hi again teatea!! The correct answer is b. "Orbitals and orbits When the a planet moves around the sun, you can plot a definite path for it which is called an orbit. A simple view of the atom looks similar and you may have pictured the electrons as orbiting around the nucleus. The truth is different, and electrons in fact inhabit regions of space known as orbitals." From "chemguide.co.uk" site, for more info see this page: http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/properties/atomorbs.html Search strategy: orbitals electrons atom planet Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask for a clarification if it is needed. Best regards. livioflores-ga |
