PPT Slide
- The maximum radial probability for the ground-state of H atom appears at (0.529 Å, or 5.29 x 10 –10 m), the same as 1st Bohr orbit.
- The electron spends most of its time at the same distance that the Bohr model predicted it spent all of its time.
- Each atomic orbital, __ has a distinctive radial probability distribution and probability contour diagram.
- An atomic orbital is specified by three quantum numbers.
- These determine the orbital’s size, shape, and orientation in space.
Concept 7-10. The hierarchy of the quantum numbers that describe the size (n, energy), shape (l), and orientation (ml) of an orbital
