This lecture delves into the electronic structure of atoms, focusing on the hydrogen atom. It covers the radial wave functions, quantum numbers, and angular wave functions necessary for characterizing the atom's electron. The separation of variables, spherical coordinates, and Cartesian coordinates are explored to understand the wave functions. The lecture also discusses the energy levels, probability distributions, and orbital sublayers of the hydrogen atom, shedding light on the mathematical and physical aspects of atomic structure.
