Question

in chemistry, how does an orbital get its name? because it contains particles that have a negative charge because it contains particles that move around the nucleus

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In chemistry, an orbital is named because it is a region where electrons (particles that move around the nucleus) are likely to be found. The first option about negative - charged particles is too general and not the reason for naming an orbital. The second option correctly relates to the nature of an orbital as a space for electrons moving around the nucleus.

Answer:

because it contains particles that move around the nucleus
