J The maxima of Dnfor several selected H orbitals are depicted on Slide 27 of "Orbitals of H Atom" lecture. The exact positions for these maxima can be calculated using differentiation technique. These maxima (or minima) must occur when 2 dr Using the relevant R(r) functions given on Slide 22 & the above recipe, determine the positions of the maxima (in units of ao) for (a) 2s orbital, & (b) 3d orbital Hint: There are free on-line engines that can solve cubic equations. You input the a, b and c values and the engine gives you the roots. Some of your calculators can solve that too.
