Dear Everyone,
Could anyone explain why we count only the number of radial nodes between the subshells that have the same orbital angular momentum l ?
For example, 3p-orbitals have 1 radial node that exists between the 3p- and 2p-orbitals.
Shouldn't be there additional radial nodes that exist between the 3p- and 2s-orbitals and between the 3p- and 1s-orbitals?
Thank you so much for your help...
