Visualizations of Scientific Data
Periodic Table: Atomic Orbitals II.
This visualization of the periodic table shows the probability of finding the outermost electron of each atom in any specific 2D region around the nucleus. High probabilities are denoted by red, low probabilities with blue colors. All atoms other than hydrogen are approximated with hydrogen for simplicity. In reality the orbitals will look somewhat, but not too different.
All atoms were chosen to have the same size to aid visibility. This way the structure of orbitals for the light elements are also visible. A scaled version of this figure can be found here:

Update: 2020/07/06: A visualization showing all electron orbitals for N=1 to 6 is also available on Youtube: youtu.be/HyRHT4yOvms
