What are the wavefunctions for interacting electrons inside an atom?
The electron cloud for the single electron orbital $1s^1$ is radially symmetric in 3 dimensions.
This is perhaps because of the probability distribution function (p.d.f.) $|\psi|^2 = ce^{-\frac{2r}{a …

Can the electronic configurations give any information about the actual structure of the atom?
The zeroth order wavefunction for an He atom in the ground state is $\psi^0_\text{He}=\psi_{1s}(1)\psi_{1s}(2)$ and hence the electronic configuration $1s^2$. But then we start making purterbations, w …
