Radial distribution function
In the textbook, the section on orbital shapes in topic 1D covered the radial distribution function. I was wondering if someone could explain what this means and how to apply it because I didn't really understand the book's definition.

Re: Radial distribution function
The radial distribution function gives the probability density for an electron to be located anywhere on a sphere's surface located a distance R from a proton.
