I was wondering if the following responses, and their line of reasoning, is correct:
The wavefunction is 0 at the nucleus for each stationary state of the hydrogen atom.
-> False (thinking in terms of the radial distribution, it only approaches 0)
The most probable value of the electron-nuclear distance in the ground state hydrogen atom is 0.
-> True (symmetric about nucleus)
For hydrgen in the ground state, the electron is confined to move w/in a sphere of fixed radius.
-> True (in ground state: 1s)
