The use of electron orbitals in quantum theory and chemistry is discussed. Common misconceptions are highlighted. Suggestions are made how chemistry educators may describe orbitals in the first and ...

All electron shells of 118 elements of the periodic table are visualized using the parameters of the (3,–3) critical points in the topology of the localized orbital locator function, and a consistent ...

The behavior of the electrons in atoms is complex, forming electron orbitals that have different functions depending on their closeness to the nucleus. The inner shell electrons, called core ...

Inelastic electron scattering is shown to be a very powerful tool to study the structure of shell-model nuclei, since the form factors are very sensitive to small admixtures of different orbitals. For ...
