Explanation:

An orbital is a numerical function named as a wave function that defines an electron in an atom. Radial wave functions for a given atom depend only upon the interval, r from the nucleus. Angular wave functions rely only upon direction, and, in effect, define the appearance of an orbital.

Explanation:

Radial wave function :

Spherical

Angular wave function :

Planes or cones

Radial wave function :

Have fixed radii

Angular wave function :

Have fixed angle

Radial wave function :

Radial nodes are spherical regions where the probability of finding an electron is zero.

Angular wave function :

Angular nodes are flat planes where the probability of finding an electron is zero.
