Don't understand these correct answers.
For #8, it seems like each hump of the radial probability distribution represents an S orbital, and so it makes sense for the largest probability to be 4s. But that contradicts question 7, because the correct answer has the Hydrogen electron residing in the 4p. orbital which makes absolutely zero sense to me.
Can anyone hjelp clear this up? Thank you
Just plug in.
[math]{\Psi _{n\ell m}}\left( {r,\theta ,\varphi } \right) = \sqrt {{{\left( {\frac{{2r}}{{na}}} \right)}^3}\frac{{\left( {n - \ell - 1} \right)!}}{{2n\left( {n + \ell } \right)!}}} {e^{ - r/na}}{\left( {\frac{{2r}}{{na}}} \right)^\ell }L_{n - \ell - 1}^{2\ell + 1}\left( {2r/na} \right)P_\ell ^m\left( {\cos \theta } \right){e^{im\varphi }}[/math]

no, the 4s all by itself has 4 humps (ie it has 3 nodes)

Ground state is lowest energy. Final state is highest.
