CHEMISTRYFor 3s orbital of hydrogen atom, the normalised wave function is given byy3s = {1/[81(3 pie)^1/2} * (1/a)^3/2 * [27 - (18r)/a + (r)^2/(a)^2] * e^r/3aThe above mentioned orbital (3s) has two nodes at 1.9a0 and xa0. What is the approximate value ofx?(a) 9 (b) 7(c) 6 (d) 2

Dear student,

To get the value of x, put the normalised wave function to be zero. This is just a hint, u can solve the equation on ur own..

A node is where it goes to zero; BTW it must be e^(MINUS r/3ao) otherwise it blows up 


in this case ignore everything but [ 27- 18r/a0 + 2r^2/a0^2] 
By solving this quadratic equation we get the two answer from which we can find the values of nodes
