Which is the best analogy describing the location of an electron in an atomic orbital?


Athe path of a bee moving flower to flower in a garden

Bpins on a map plotting your location every minute of a school day

Cfree thrown basketballs bouncing on a basket ball court

Verified Answer :

The answer is B.

Locating the position of an electron in an atomic orbital is difficult because the electrons change position more frequently than it can be observed.This is why probabilistic statistics are used to tell the position of an electron in an atomic orbital.   The higher the probability  that an electron appears at a particular point every particular period helps predict it atomic orbitals.
