Electronic motion is not mechanical movement in Euclidean space with Newtonian time, where linear algebra is applied to physical quantities. Electronic motion obeys Faraday’s law in atomic spacetime where dynamic calculus of spherical quantities is the rule. Here, the author puts forward a novel four-dimensional space theory, defining 2s2p electronic orbitals in a neon shell using geometry, trigonometry, and dynamic calculus consistently in the context of harmonic oscillation. The 2p electronic orbitals in a neon atom are not equally distributed in the X, Y, and Z directions, but are anisotropic in Cartesian coordinates. Specifically, 2px orbitals are two one-dimensional poles; 2py orbitals are two flat sectors; and 2pz orbitals are two hemispheres. Anisotropic 2s2p orbitals are the origin of a chiral carbon center when fixed by four different substituents. The theory effectively explains the structures and reaction mechanisms of methane, ethene, ethyne, and other organic compounds without appealing to orbital hybridization. It is a perfect complement to quantum mechanics for describing the multielectron system.
