The region where the probability of finding the electron is maximum is called as?
Correct answer: C. Orbital
- A. Nucleus
- B. Atom
- C. Orbital
- D. Nodal plane
Explanation
An orbital is a three dimensional description of the most likely location of an electron around an atom.

About Shapes of Orbitals
Atomic orbitals are three-dimensional regions where an electron is most likely to be found, not fixed circular paths. The content covers the spherical s orbitals, dumbbell-shaped p orbitals, clover-shaped d orbitals, the orientations of orbitals, and how quantum numbers determine their shapes and energy levels.
