-The picture shows the first few [[hydrogen atom]] [[atomic orbital | orbital]]s (energy eigenfunctions). These are cross-sections of the [[probability density]] that are color-coded (black=zero density, white=highest density). The [[angular momentum]] [[quantum]] number l is denoted in each column, using the usual spectroscopic letter code ("s" means l=0; "p": l=1; "d": l=2). The main quantum number n (=1,2,3,...) is marked to the right of each row. For all pictures the magnetic quantum number m has been set to 0, and the cross-sectional plane is the x-z plane (z is the vertical axis). The probability density in three-dimensional space is obtained by rotating the one shown here around the z-axis.
