This generally occurs due to the spin of unpaired electrons in the atomic/molecular electron orbitals (see Magnetic moment).

The orders of hierarchical complexity are quantized like the electron atomic orbitals around the nucleus.

When a covalent molecule is formed, the electron orbitals are modified.

I suspect the positron binds into the electron orbitals, rather than with the nucleus.

Replies: Completely filled electron orbitals, most likely.

And so, my question is, can electron orbitals be reconciled with the electron as a standing wave?

Second term (summing over angles): represents the energy due to the geometry of electron orbitals involved in covalent bonding.

As they are added, they assume their most stable conditions (electron orbitals) with respect to the nucleus and those electrons already there.

It happens that transition metals have such "excited" empty electron orbitals than most most substances.

At these defects the electron orbitals are very different from those found in the perfect regions of the diamond.
