Solved: Figure shows the radial probability distribution

Chapter , Problem 80AE

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure 7.4 shows the radial probability distribution functions for the \(2 s\) orbitals and \(2 p\) orbitals.

(a) Which orbital, \(2 s \text { or } 2 p\), has more electron density close to the nucleus?

(b) How would you modify Slater’s rules to adjust for the difference in electronic penetration of the nucleus for the \(2 s \text { and } 2 p\) orbitals?
