[CHM 331] Some Help with Homework

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Question 20.31 asks you about radial and angular nodes.  To answer this
you must know which quantum numbers correspond to which atomic orbitals.


The number of radial nodes is given by $n-l-1$.   The number of angular
nodes is given by the quantum number $l$.


So, a $\psi_{2p_x}$ atomic orbital ($n=2,l=1$) has 0 radial nodes and 1
angular node.
