When Schrodinger wave equation in polar coordinates is solved the solution for Phi is of the form Psi (r, theta , phi)= R(r) , Y(theta , phi) . Here R(r) is radial part of wave function and Y(theta, phi) is angular part of the wave function. The region or space where probability of finding electron is zero is called nodal surface. If the probability of finding electron is zero then Psi^2 (r, theta, phi)=0 implies Psi (r, theta, phi)=0 If the radial wave function is equal to zero we get radial node and if angular part is equal to zero we get angular nodes. Total no. of nodes for any orbital = n - 1. Where ‘n’ is principal quantum number. Number of radial nodes for 4f orbital

The schrodinger wave equation for hydrogen atom is Psi_2 = (1)/(4sqrt(2pi))((1)/(a_0))^(3//2) (2-(r)/(a_0))e^(-r//a_0) where a_0 is Bohr.s radius. If the radial node in 2s be at r_0 would be equal to

Just as Bohr.s model of atom was developed on the basis of planck.s quantum theory, wave mechanical model of atom has been developed on the basis of quantum mechanics. The herat of quantum mechanism is Schrodinger wave equation which in turn is based on Heisenberg.s uncetainity principle and de broglie concept of dual nature of matter and radiation. Bohr model could explain the main lines of hydrogen or hydrogenic spectra but could not explain their fine structure. To explain this, it was suggested that each level consists of a number of sublevels, it was suggested that each level consists of a number of sublevels, the transitions between which gave rise to closely spaced lines. The numbers representing the main energy level are called Princiapl Quantum Number (n) while those representing sublevels are called Azimuthal Quantum numbers (l) and these determine the angular momentum of the electron. The orbital angular Number (m) which is just like a further split of a sublevel into finer sublevels. Lastly the electron may rotate or spin about its own axis given rise to Spin Quantum number (s) which determines the angular momentum of the electron. The quantum number not obtained from the solution of Schrodinger wave equation is
