For 2 s, number of radial nodes =2-0-1=1 and value of ψ2 is always positive.

Q. Which of the following is the correct plot for the probability density $ψ^{2} (r)$ as a function of distance ' $r$ ' of the electron form the nucleus for $2 s$ orbital?

For $2 s$ , number of radial nodes $= 2 - 0 - 1 = 1$ and value of $ψ^{2}$ is always positive.

Q. Which of the following is the correct plot for the probability density ψ2(r) as a function of distance ' r ' of the electron form the nucleus for 2s orbital?

For 2s, number of radial nodes =2−0−1=1 and value of ψ2 is always positive.
