Consider the radial distribution shown below for an electron in an s atomic orbital where r is the distance of the electron from the nucleus. Identify: (1) where the atomic nucleus is located; (2) a radial node; (3) the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus; and (4) the principle quantum number for this orbital.
