Chapter 11, Problem 11.82E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of $\theta$ for which the ${\Psi }_{3d_0}$ has an angular node is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Quantum numbers are a set of the numbers that provide information about an electron in an atom. There are four quantum numbers that are $n$, $l$, $m_l$ and $m_s$. The quantum numbers give acceptable solution for the Schrödinger wave equation. The angular node is formed when a plane is passed through the nucleus. The value of angular node is equal to the azimuthal quantum number. It is represented by $l$.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The graph that illustrates the value(s) of $\theta$ is to be drawn. The explanation of the given drawing with that of ${\Psi }_{3d_0}$ in Figure 11.22 is to be stated.
