| Jun 11, 2016 at 17:02 | comment | added | FreezingFire | I'm sorry to be a grave digger, but why does the $\psi^2$ have such unsymmetrical graphs for $l\ge1$? And if possible, could you explain the non mathematical aspect of it? Because i am not yet acquainted with wave equation's advanced math (i have only seen the raw form). From Resnick, I know that the three orbitals (in case of p orbitals)combined together are symmetrical, but why are they indivudally non spherical? | |
