Radial Nodes of an Orbital: Probability of Electrons

[Tahmeed]

In a radial node of an orbital, say of 3px orbital, is the probability for finding the 3px electron there is 0 but an electron of another orbital, say 2px, can be found there, OR the chance of finding electron of any orbital in a node of a certain orbital is 0?

 

[Borek]

Total probability of finding an electron is a sum of all individual probabilities. Does it help?

So the total probability is 0 or only the probability of that orbital is 0 in a node?

If you sum zero and something that is not zero, do you get zero, or something different from zero?

In other words: 1+0 is 0, or 1?

Got it.. thanks
