Radial Function
« on: December 08, 2008, 10:59:34 PM »
what would be the radial function for the 3s electron in the He+ ion?
that would allow me to determine the distances from the nuclei to the radial nodes

Almost the same as for H atom, the only difference being in constants (Z=2 instead of Z=1).

so f(r)=4(pi)r^2 (R(r))^2
in that R(r)= 2/((27(a^3))^.5) X [1-(2r/3a)+(2(r^2) / 27(a^2)] ^exp -r/3a
a= bohr's radius

would it be that?
