Physical Chemistry Problem:
The ‘size’ of an atom is sometimes considered to be measured by the radius of a sphere that contains 90% of the charge density of the electrons in the outermost occupied orbital. Calculate the ‘size’ of a hydrogen atom in its ground state according to this definition. (b) Consider how the ‘size’ of a hydrogen atom would change if an alternate definition of size were used. Generate a plot of P vs r that shows how this size would change as the definition is changed. (c) What physical quantity is represented by the derivative of this this plot?
