How can the atomic orbital be described in the quantum mechanical wave model of the orbitals?

Question

A. A collection of balloons
B. A circular ring
C. A probability density

Answer 1

You have to do your own work.

Maybe just post what you think it is and why.

Answer 2

The reason I didn't say what I think Is because I originally went with planetary orbital but got it wrong. I have no idea what the right answer is.

Answer 3

I think this has to do with the orbital stuff that you learn in organic chemistry, and/or physical chemistry, or some other chemistry courses. I think you should go with A, collection of balloons. This is what that orbital stuff looks like in a book; I hated that orbital stuff in school.

Answer 4

The planetary model came from Bohr primarily was was displaced by Shroeder et al with wave mechanics. I think if you Google wave mechanics you can see what fits.

Answer 5

Probability density
