What exactly are the graphs of orbitals?

.$ My professor stated that "the wave functions of the electron are called orbitals". Say, we are interested in the $l = 0$ (or s-orbitals). …

Generating hybrid atomic orbitals for Boron

My professor was showing us how to form hybrid atomic orbitals for Boron by taking a linear combination of rotated 2p orbitals and 2s orbitals (of Boron). … counterclockwise Can someone provide a visual (picture) showing the "mixing" of the atomic orbitals to create the three hybrid orbitals (while maintaining the same orientation of BH3 as in my first …
