Atomic orbital

Atomic orbitals are a bit like invisible bubbles where electrons, which are tiny particles, live around the nucleus (center) of an atom. There are lots of different shapes of orbitals, and each is made up of the same amount of energy. The electrons don't stay in one place; instead, they are always moving around in the atomic orbitals. When the electrons move around, they create barriers in the orbitals that help to keep them in place. Even though electrons can't be seen, they affect how an atom behaves!
