- atomic orbitalsplural of atomic orbital: A mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of either one electron or a pair of electrons in an atom. This function can be used to calculate the probability of finding any electron of an atom in …
- hybrid orbitalsplural of hybrid orbital: An orbital formed by the combination of multiple atomic orbitals on the same atom
- molecular orbitalsplural of molecular orbital: The quantum mechanical behavior of an electron in a molecule describing the probability of the electron's particular position and energy; approximated by a linear combination of atomic orbitals.
- antibonding orbitalsplural of antibonding orbital: an atomic or molecular orbital whose energy increases as its constituent atoms are brought closer together - thus generating a repulsive force that hinders bonding
- bonding orbitalsplural of bonding orbital: A molecular orbital, responsible for a covalent bond between two atoms, formed by overlap of their corresponding atomic orbitals
- frontier orbitalsplural of frontier orbital: Either of a pair of orbitals, of two molecules or fragments, that overlap to form a bond; especially the HOMO and LUMO orbitals

- preorbitalsplural of preorbital: Occurring before an orbit is established.
- antorbitalsplural of antorbital: Situated to the front of the orbit of the eye
- circumorbitalsplural of circumorbital: Around the eye.
- infraorbitalsplural of infraorbital: Below the orbit of the eye.
- interorbitalsplural of interorbital: Between orbitals.
- postorbitalsplural of postorbital: Behind the orbit of the eye.
- suborbitalsplural of suborbital: Not reaching orbit; having a trajectory that does not reach orbital velocity and so must return to ground eventually.
