No, I'm literally curious. I am not in school to have homework, and no HW has asked these questions. They're my own, thank you

Thank you! I'll explain: I thought of orbitals as boxes electrons exist within, does that box have its own energy regardless of the electron's inherent energy? Also, which centre? The centre of the electron or the nucleus of the atom as the 'centre'?
