Are electrons located in the energy level or in orbitals?

OpenStudy (korosh23):

@matt101 in my textbook it says orbitals. However, when I search on the internet they are located in energy levels.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Orbitals and energy levels are kind of the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Each energy level has certain orbitals where the electrons are found

OpenStudy (korosh23):

Orbitals and energy levels are not the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think out it this way. Energy levels are made up of orbitals. So electrons are in both orbitals and energy levels

OpenStudy (anonymous):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbUYf3jYwEg This video explains orbitals and energy levels

OpenStudy (matt101):

Definitely have a look at the video. If you still have questions feel free to ask.
