Question:

The wave functions for the 1s and 2s orbitals are as follows:1s (1/)/2 (1/a/2) exp(-r/ao) 2s (1/32) /2(1/a/2) (2 r/ao)exp(-r/2a0) = -

where a0 is a constant (a0 = 53 pm) and r is the distance from the nucleus. Use a spreadsheet to make a plot of each of these wave functions for values of r ranging from 0 pm to 200 pm.

Describe the differences in the plots and identify the node in the 2s wave function.
