These are simulations of e- |y|2 with 1s, 2s, and 2p marked: Anderson, Quantum Mechanics VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
The corresponding y are: 3D in spherical coordinates Anderson, Quantum Mechanics VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
So all of the directional character must come from 2p orbitals: ~ VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Beiser, Modern Physics Boundary surface diagrams s-orbitals are all spherical: no preferred direction p-orbitals are highly directional VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
