I have three question regarding the electronic wavefunction [tex]\Psi[/tex]
Ques 1 What does value of wavefunction of any orbital signify ? Is it just a mode of calculating
other quantities like probability amplitude etc. or does it have a significance in itself ?
Ques 2 What does the radial part of wave function of any orbital represent for that orbital ?
Ques 3 What is significance of positive and negative phases of a wavefunction of any orbital ?
I know that when orbitals' wavefunction combine out of phase they form anti-bonding
and when they combine in phase they form bonding orbitals but is there individual
importance of these phases for that orbital ?
