Problem Set No. 5
1.) Evaluate the mean radius of a 3 s orbital by integration.
2.) Find the most probable distance of a \( 2 \mathrm{~s} \) electron from the nucleus in a hydrogenic atom.|
3.) The hydrogenic radial wavefunction of an electron for \( \mathrm{n}=2 \) and \( \mathrm{l}=0 \) is \( R(r)_{1,0}=(2-\rho) e^{-\frac{\rho}{2}} \) where \( \rho=\frac{2 Z r}{n a} \)
a.) Normalize the radial wavefunction.
b.) Evaluate the probability density at the nucleus of the electron for an electron with \( \mathrm{n}=2, \mathrm{l}=0, \mathrm{ml}=0 \). evaluate at \( \mathrm{r}=0 \).
\[
Y(\phi, \theta)_{0,0}=\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi}\right)^{1 / 2}
\]
