Hydrogenic Isosurfaces:
The following are isosurface representations for hydrogenic wavefunctions. An orbital isosurface is defined by the points where the wavefunction is equal to an arbitrary constant. Although in reality, since the true hydrogenic orbitals are scalar fields of complex numbers, there is no one good way to represent them. The ones presented here are formed from linear combinations which represent the real component of each orbital.They demonstrate the general shapes of the orbital regions, as determined by the angular momentum quantum number, l, and the angular momentum projection quantum number, ml. The colors indicate the relative phase of the orbital, where the wavefunction is positive and negative.
