An orbital is a one-electron wavefunction, usually derived by solving the Schrodinger equation. This tag applies to questions about all forms of orbitals; additionally, questions about the construction and properties of molecular orbitals should be tagged with [molecular-orbital-theory].

What is the basis for naming the p-orbitals with reference to the Cartesian coordinate syste...
EDIT: Since you seem to have an issue here, I'll mention this as well:
Quoting from chemguide.co.uk
A) $\mathrm{d_{xy}}$, $\mathrm{d_{yz}}$, $\mathrm{d_{zx}}$
The names tell you that these orbitals … B) $\mathrm{d_{x^2 - y^2}}$, $\mathrm{d_{z^2}}$
Although these two orbitals look totally different, what they have in common is that their lobes point along the various axes. …

Explain!"An orbital of smaller size means there is more chance of finding an electron near t...
Of course there are variations in shape [spherical(s-orbitals), dumbbells (p-orbitals), Double dumbbells (d-orbitals), etc] and size depending on which orbital, sub-shell and shell/energy-level you're … Chances of finding electrons outside of the orbitals is pretty slim.
Have a look at this diagram on atomic orbitals:
