The 3p, m=1 orbital

 

 

The n=3, l=1, m=1 state. Of course, the m=-1 state would look just the same. It is a torus, with something like a ball in the middle. (Look at it straight down from the top for the clearest view.)


Rotate by clicking and dragging with the mouse.
Magnify by dragging vertically while holding down the SHIFT key.
