Quantum mechanical model of the atom
Question

The wave function ψn,l,ml is a mathematical function whose value depends upon spherical polar coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) of the electron and characterized by the quantum numbers n, l and ml. Here r is distance from nucleus, θ  is colatitude and ϕ is azimuth. In the mathematical functions given in the Table, Z is atomic number and a0 is Bohr radius.

Solution

1s ®  0    0 radial  nodes , no angular  component (Þ no cos q)

2s ®  0   1 radial node, , no angular  component (Þ no cos q)

2pz 0 radial node, angular component is present (Þ no cos q)

3dz2  0 radial node, angular component is present(Þ no cos q)

a) 1s ® 0   radial node Þ wrong as (ii),(i)  1 radial node 

 b) 3dz2dz2  'R'is  wrong  point

c)for 2pzgraph  'p'iswrong
