Chapter 7, Problem 7.61QE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The designation for an orbital that has a spherical distribution about the nucleus has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Erwin Schrödinger gave a model to describe the behavior of an electron in atoms through a wave function. The wave function is defined as a mathematical function for an electron wave that gives the amplitude of the wave at any point in space. It is represented by a Greek letter Ψ.

The wave function of an electron has no physical significance but when the square of its absolute magnitude takes then it gives a probability of finding an electron at any particular point of time.

The expression of the probability of finding electrons is as follows:

  Probability of finding electrons=|Ψ2|        (1)

The acceptable wave function is characterized by a set of four quantum numbers. These quantum numbers are related to the shape, size of the electron wave and the location of the electron in space.
