(Solved): The angular part of the normalized wavefunction used to describe a 2p atomic orbital is 2p() ...
The angular part of the normalized wavefunction used to describe a 2p atomic orbital is ?2p?(?)=23??cos?. What fraction of the electron charge will be found between ?1?=60? (or ?/3 ) and ?2?=120? (or 2?/3 )? Note that your "volume" element here is in terms of angle ?, so whereas in a particle in a 1D box your "volume" element is simply dx, here you will get your first experience working with spherical coordinates, where your "volume" element for ? is sin?d?.
