Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Quantum Chemistry · Topic: Hydrogen Atom · Exam: NET DEC 2011 · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
Which of the following is true for the radial part of the hydrogen atom wave functions $\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{n} 1}(\mathrm{r})$ ( n principal quantum number) and the nodes associated with them?
(a)The radial part of only s function is non-zero at the origin and has ($\mathrm{n}-1$) nodes.
(c)All radial functions have values of zero at the origin and have ( $\mathrm{n}-1$ ) nodes.
(d)The radial parts of all s functions are zero at the origin and have no nodes.
Answer
SELF-PRACTICE — the source book printed no answer.
Nothing is invented here, so this question has no answer on record.
