Hydrogen Orbitals

Equiprobability surfaces for hydrogen orbitals correspond to the wavefunctions . 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.

(149 lines omitted)

— principal quantum number
— total angular momentum quantum number
— projected angular momentum quantum number
— fraction of the maximal probability density
