3d Orbital Wave Function Graph. This is because the wave function produces complex solutions for l 1 1. Movie depicting the 3d x 2 y 2 wave function ψ 3d x 2 y 2.
Since the graph has only one peak there is no nodal region. The shapes of the first five atomic orbitals are. Represent the wave function atomic orbital in 3d draw a 3d surface at a given value of define the surfac such that it encloses a space in which the electron spends most of its time the surface now depicts outer shape and size of the orbital.
The shapes of the first five atomic orbitals are.

It has no spherical nodes but the higher d orbitals 4d 5d 6d and 7d have one or more. 9 the probability distribution curve for 2s electron appears like that of. Each picture is domain coloring of a ψ x y z function which depend on the coordinates of one electron.
