what is the term for the spatial region about the nucleus of an atom where there is a high probability of finding an electron with a given energy?

atomic orbital

Explanation:

Atoms are made of three sub-atomic particles, electron, proton and neutron.

Protons and neutrons are present in the core of the atom in a very small zone called nucleus. Nucleus is positively charged.

Electrons are present around the nucleus. Electrons present outside the nucleus are also termed as electron cloud. Region outside the nucleus where probability of finding an electron is maximum is termed as atomic orbital. Four basic types of orbitals are present around the nucleus which are

s-orbital

p-orbital

d-orbital

f-orbital

Electrons present in same orbitals have same energy. Therefore, term is atomic orbital.
