ABSTRACT

The Bohr model is highly successful in explaining many features of the hydrogen atom. The ground state wave function does not have any angular dependence. The normalized hydrogen atom wave functions are directly accessible in Mathematica and can be readily verified as solutions of the Schrodinger equation. Get the hydrogen atom ground state wave function in terms of the Bohr radius a. The probability of finding the electron per volume at a given location is given by the square of the wave function. The electron has only a very tiny probability of being found inside the proton, whose size is about 1 fm.
