What is the shape of an s orbital? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what an orbital is. An orbital is a region in an atom where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
  • Step 2: Learn about different types of orbitals. There are several types of orbitals, including s, p, d, and f.
  • Step 3: Focus on the s orbital. The s orbital is the simplest type of orbital.
  • Step 4: Visualize the shape. The s orbital is shaped like a sphere, meaning it looks like a ball.
  • Step 5: Remember that all s orbitals, regardless of the energy level, have this spherical shape.
