After the usual atomic model of drilling, the electrons circle around the atomic nucleus like satellites on tracks, i.e. on trays with different energy levels. In the orbital model, differently arranged ellipses (orbitals), in which the electrons (maximum 2 per orbital) are in each case with high probability. You don’t know the residences. By means of the arrangement of the orbitals, for example, the tetrahedral structure of methane is obtained.

Addition Example Carbon: If 4-value, i.e. it has 4 valence electrons which it can output, but can also receive 4 additional electrons, the 4 existing electrons form 4 orbitals whose arrangement is responsible for the structure of compounds.

I am somewhat overwhelmed because the orbital model is not so descriptible and explainable in 2-3 sentences. Just as much:

After the drill atomic model electrons circle around the atomic nucleus like planets around their sun. If this is the case, you cannot explain why methane has a tetrahedral structure.

I suggest you read at e.g.

And then you ask us specifically what you didn’t understand. Here are enough competent “chemists” and “physicists” who answer these questions.
