Postcard : 2s electron orbital
Cards from Science Photo Library
2s electron orbital
2s electron orbital, computer model. An electron orbital is a region around an atomic nucleus (not seen) in which one or a pair of electrons is most likely to exist. The orbital is seen halved at right to show the spherical node contained within it. The blue area is where the wave function of the electron has a positive value, and the gold area is where it is negative. The 2 shell contains this 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals (not seen) at a slightly higher energy level

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer model of the 2s electron orbital, providing us with a glimpse into the intricate world of atomic structure. Electron orbitals are regions surrounding an atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to be found. In this image, we observe the halved view of the spherical node contained within the orbital, revealing its inner complexity. The contrasting colors add depth and clarity to our understanding of this phenomenon. The blue area represents where the wave function of the electron has a positive value, while the gold area indicates where it is negative. This visual representation allows us to appreciate how these opposing values interact within the orbital. It is important to note that this 2s electron orbital resides in the second shell and coexists with three 2p orbitals at a slightly higher energy level (although not visible in this particular model). Such details highlight how atoms organize their electrons into different shells and subshells based on their energy levels. This stunning illustration combines elements from both mechanical and physical chemistry, offering insight into quantum mechanics and physics as well. It serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous exploration into understanding fundamental particles that shape our universe.
