    it’s a good thing they simplified the equation by defining ρ separately.

    The fucky thing is, hydrogen atoms are simple. Literally every other atom and molecule is just estimated based off of hydrogen because of how much harder it is to calculate.

    How big would the body need to be for it to have a 99.9% chance for the electrons to be there?

      Just integrate phi squared over the sphere space, and with that set to .999, solve for r. Use something like Maple if the algebra if you’re a wimp.

      Assuming the probability distribution is gaussian, I’d guess something like 3.5 to 4 times as large. I dont remember if that specific probability density function is gaussian or not, but assuming a distribution is gaussian is usually a safe bet

        it is not gaussian. for first electron, it is closer to poissonian
