Rydberg orbital

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010463",
  "term": "Rydberg orbital",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An atomic or molecular orbital characterized by a very large principal quantum number, causing the electron to be far from the atomic or molecular core. These orbitals resemble those of a hydrogen atom and are weakly bound, making them susceptible to perturbation. They are often involved in high-energy electronic transitions.",
  "subject": "Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry",
