Atomic Orbitals

Atomic Orbitals

An atomic orbital represents the three-dimensional regions in an atom where an electron has the highest probability to reside. The radial distribution function indicates the total probability of finding an electron within the thin shell at a distance r from the nucleus. The atomic orbitals have distinct shapes which are determined by l, the angular momentum quantum number. The orbitals are often drawn with a boundary surface, enclosing densest regions of the cloud.

Electron Orbital Model

Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.
The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Background:

Acute traumatic third nerve palsies are uncommon.
Most reported cases involve the intracranial nerve, often with visual deficits.
Orbital injuries causing third nerve palsy are particularly rare.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a case series of acute traumatic orbital third nerve palsies.
To highlight the diagnostic importance of preoperative assessment in orbital trauma.
To differentiate neurogenic from soft tissue injuries in orbital trauma.

Main Methods:

Case series of three patients with acute traumatic orbital third nerve palsies.
Review of clinical presentations, focusing on ocular movements and pupillary reactions.
Preoperative assessment protocols for orbital trauma patients.

Main Results:

Three cases of acute traumatic orbital third nerve palsies were identified.
Orbital injury as the site of third nerve palsy is rare.
Assessment of ocular movements and pupillary reactions is crucial for diagnosis.

Conclusions:

Careful preoperative assessment is vital for patients with orbital trauma, especially with fractures.
Distinguishing neurogenic from soft tissue injury aids surgical timing.
Accurate diagnosis and counseling are essential for managing patient expectations.
