Radial probability plots shed insight on issues of shielding and effective nuclear charge. Interpret the radial probability functions in Figure 2.7 to explain why the general order of orbital filling is n = 1 , followed by n = 2 , followed by n = 3 . Interpret the graphs for 3 s , 3 p , and 3 d to rationalize the filling order for these orbitals.
