Atomic orbital derived from DFT calculations on the corresponding single atoms of the noble gases. Contour surfaces are given at the 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, and 25% probability level of the electron density, describing the spatial volume around a nucleus in which an electron may be found with the corresponding probability. Yellow and blue colors indicate regions of opposite sign in ψ, (the electron density is proportional to ψ²). Slices through the surfaces indicate the "inner" structure of the orbitals, and the nodal planes display areas were the waves functions passes through zero. Click on the images to enlarge view.

Images of the hydrogenic orbital and Jmol 3D models of this orbital are also available.

All graphics shown on this page were created using the MolArch⁺ program and POVRAY Persistence of Vision Raytracer. Electron densities were calculated on three dimensional grids for the corresponding single atoms of the noble gases using JAGUAR.
