3d Orbital Wave Function Graph. 10 draw the graph of radius of orbit in hydrogen atom as a function of orbit number. Orange fo r positive and blue fo r negative.
Movie depicting the 3d x 2 y 2 wave function ψ 3d x 2 y 2. 3d orbital m l 0. For example using the appropriate quantum numbers it is trivial to graph the s and p orbitals.
To see the elongated shape of ψ x y z 2 functions that show probability density more directly see pictures of d orbitals below.
