12c. Radial and Angular Functions

The document discusses the Schrödinger equation in both Cartesian and polar coordinates, detailing the separation of variables into radial and angular components for easier solutions. It covers the properties of wave functions, including radial probability density and distribution, as well as the characteristics of nodes in orbitals. Additionally, it explains the significance of angular functions and the symmetry of s orbitals.
