Electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom

Reference no: EM13539186

(a) calculate the probability that an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom will be found at a greater distance from the nucleus than would be allowed classically.

(b) show that the uncertainty principle for delta x and delta p(sub x) is obeyed by an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom.

(c) make sketches of the regions in the x, z plane where the probability of finding an electron in a hydrogen atom ground state is large. Repeat for the 2S; the 2P, m=0; and the 2P, m=1 states.
