Question

Consider the radial wavefunctions for the 4s and 3d orbitals. The 4s radial wavefunction is typed below: the 3d can be found in the book or in the table below the homework questions. Answer the following questions for Rzo and Ruz: a. What is the value of the wavefunction R(r) at r=0? (i.e. what is R(0)^2) b. For how many values of r is R(r) 0? (Don't try to solve for actual values unless you like to solve quartics for fun.) c. Where is R(r) = 0 or R(r) = 0? Once again, you don't need exact values, but a description like "between 0 and the first node the wavefunction is negative" is adequate. Based on the answers to the above questions, sketch the radial wavefunctions for the 4s and 3d orbitals. Sketching only requires the right number of nodes (places where R(r) = 0) and the right sign of the function between nodes or between the origin and nodes. Actual numerical values are not important.
