atomic doubt
i was studying the nodes and stuff portion of atomic structure. in the graph of radial distributon function ( let it be y here ) vs r , the number of times y=0 is equal to number of radal nodes. but how do we determine the number of peaks in the graph

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.also the peaks signify that at that certain value of r , probability of finding an electron is pretty high , right ?
number of peaks = number of nodes + 1
usually u just start from minima, then u keep drawing graph with increasing peaks
only in positive y axis and keep count of nodes (every time y=0), also last peak does not touch y=0
Yed
yes 👍
i think hes talking about the psi^2 dv
Lets confirm :)
radial distribution function and radial probability function same thing na
any proof of that or its just a normal observation
thats one way but there must be a way to just read the given orbital and determine it
i didnt quite get what u wanted to convey
Try reading ncert/watching the session on this.
i am talking about 4pi r^2 psi^2
since he didnt say density i told psi^2 dr
yep am talking bout the last one
ye determine nodes (n-l-1) and draw accordingly
or just deduce that no of peaks = nodes+1 , like u said
what about the no of angular nodes ??
the r max with the highest probability of finding electron
basically s orbital starts from maxima hence no angular nodes
yeah since only s orbital dosnt have angular nodes
we necessarily need the orbital for that ig
From.equation
Which is visible in psi 2 amd psi graph. Not in psi2dv
hmm since they are equal to azinuthal quantum number
aight ig its all clear now
Read. A. Book.
:)
zumdahl mein kahan hai all this i couldnt find
You will need these basics to solve qs on this. Doing it superficially wont help.
Atkins has this.
and ncert lang is just way too weird to understand
Are ye kya hai
ill download that g
Zumdahl has it too afaik. Lemme see.
Yep. Hai. Don’t do Atkins unless you are targeting. a sub 5000 rank in jee adv
I am being blunt. It is too much and only to be done once the basics are clear. Basics are excellent in zumdahl.
@hardcoreisdead
Yea. Again this is for psi and psi2. Not psi2dv
got thr page number
thanxx
