Answer:

An Orbital is best described as the volume of space in which electrons are most often found

Explanation:

As we know atom consists of sub-particles commonly known as protons, neutrons and electrons. The outer space around the nucleus where the probability of finding electrons is maximum is known as orbital. As the electrons are not precisely ordered around the nucleus hence it is not easy to tell the exact position of an electron.

                Hence, four quantum numbers are used to locate the position of electrons around the nucleus.

  i) Principle Quantum Number:

                                                   This number explains the main energy level which tend to increase in energy as the distance of electrons from nucleus are increased. Principle Quantum Numbers are integer number ranging from one to infinity. Hence, increase in this quantum number results in increase of the size of orbital.

  ii) Azimuthal Quantum Number:

                                                     This Quantum Number explains the direction of particular orbital in 3-dimensional space. Also it is responsible for the shape of an orbital.

 iii) Magnetic Quantum Number:

                                                      This Quantum Number also tells the direction of orbital in 3D space with respect to x, y and z axis.

 iv) Spin Quantum Number:

                                              This Quantum Number tells about the spin direction of an electron about its axis which may be clockwise or anticlockwise.

Explain why the atomic number is called the fingerprint of element
Dovator [93]

Answer:

No element shares the same atomic number. The atomic number of every element is unique to itself, just like a fingerprint is unique to a human. The atomic number of element allows us to identify it, like how we can identify a person from their fingerprint.
