Hydrogen Orbitals
Hydrogen Orbitals
Equiprobability surfaces for hydrogen orbitals correspond to the wavefunctions (r). Here is the principal quantum number, is the total angular momentum quantum number, and is the magnetic quantum number. Hydrogen orbitals are covered in a first-year quantum mechanics course. The pictures presented are typically ambiguous in what they display. The proper way is to show equiprobability surfaces.
