ground state wave function of Hydrogen (with l=m=0), calculate the electron’s average distance from the proton in terms of the Bohr radius, a ∼0.5 ×10−10m.
The quantum-mechanical treatment of the hydrogen atom gives an expression for the wave function ψ, , of the 1s orbital:where ris the distance from the nucleus and a₀ is 52.92 pm. The electron probability density is the probability of finding the elec-tron in a tiny volume at distance rfrom the nucleus and is pro-portional to ψ² . The radial probability distribution is the total probability of finding the electron at all points at distance rfromthe nucleus and is proportional to 4πr² ψ² . Calculate the values(to three significant figures) of ψ, ψ² , and 4πr2² ψ² to fill in the fol-lowing table, and sketch plots of these quantities versus r.
