Orbital

... but the theories we have fit the evidence better than anything else, so chemists go with it even though some parts of it seem downright weird. p-orbitals are a perfect example. The p-orbital exists in two lobes projecting in opposite directions from the nucleus, with a gap in the center. Somehow, ...

... not made of metal and metals are good conductors because of the their free valence electrons and in the case of transition metals, they have a d orbital which also contribute carrier electrons. There's also something about bandgaps being big in insulators which means there are few carriers at ...

there is no 1s orbital when you form a bond, you talk about the molecular orbital as soon as it bonds. Stability is conferred by lower energy. You should not be required to know beyond this.

... this is my first time on the forum. Q. when a hydrogen atom (protium, to keep it simple) bonds with another hydrogen atom, do both of their 1s orbitals become filled (and therefore, 'happy' / stable)? and, is it the filling of these orbitals that leads to stability; or, more specifically, is ...
