Question

what do you mean by radial distribution curve? draw radial distribution 3p,3s and 3d electrons for hydrogen like system?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Radial distribution curve gives an idea about the electron density at a radial distance from the nucleus. The value of 4πr2ψ2 (radial probability density function) becomes zero at a nodal point, also known as a radial node. The number of radial nodes for an orbital =n-l-1.
