Electron orbitals or electron clouds. These regions represent the probability of finding an electron at a specific location around the nucleus of an atom.
Helium has a total of 1 electron orbital. This electron orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
An orbital is a region of space that an electron can exist in. For the diagram you start with the 1 s orbital and then 2s, 2p, and so on. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons and each arrow represents, as shown in this image. http://www.chem.uky.edu/courses/che105/105208p6.gif
Yes, the shape of an orbital represents the probability of finding an electron in a specific region around the nucleus. Different types of orbitals (s, p, d, f) have distinct shapes that determine the spatial distribution of electrons in an atom. This affects various properties such as chemical reactivity and bonding behavior.
The Specific orbital the electron is in
A spherical electron cloud surrounding an atomic nucleus best represents the probability distribution of finding electrons in an atom. This model is described by quantum mechanics and helps to visualize the regions where electrons are most likely to be found in an atom.

An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
An electron orbital describes the probable location of an electron within an atom. It represents the three-dimensional region where an electron is most likely to be found, based on the electron's energy level, shape, and orientation within the atom. Each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.

Yes, it's called an unoccupied orbital. There are actually infinitely many unoccupied orbitals for each atom. They represent possible solutions to the wave equation for the atom, and could potentially be occupied by an electron if the atom enters an excited state.
Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.

The electron orbital pattern of boron is 1s2 2s2 2p1. This means it has 2 electrons in the 1s orbital, 2 electrons in the 2s orbital, and 1 electron in the 2p orbital.
Orbital describes space where electron is found. it provides probability for the presence of electron.

An electron is transferred from the 2s orbital of a lithium atom to create a Li+ ion.
