The probability of finding an electron at a point in an atom is referred to as the probability density (ψ2). The spatial distribution of these densities can be derived from the radial wave function R(r) and angular wave function Y(θ,ϕ), then solving the Schrödinger equation for a specific set of quantum numbers.

Which of the following statements about nodes and probability density are accurate?

a-The 2s orbital does not have any nodes.
b-The probability of finding an electron at the center of a p orbital is zero.
c-The 3p orbitals have two nodes.
d-The probability of finding an electron at the center of a d orbital is greater than zero.
e-The 4f orbitals have three nodes.
