Question

Given the radial wavefunction for a 2s atomic orbital shown below, determine the finite value of r, in terms of a0, at which the radial node occurs in the 2s wavefunction of Li2+. Enter only the numeric portion of your answer (to three decimal places) in the space provided; do not enter the units (which will be a0). In this equation, Z is the atomic number, n is the principal quantum number, and .
