Theoretical analysis reveals the influence of radial nodes on orbital geometry across heavier elements, indicating effective quantum numbers can simplify complex representations.
Radial moment analysis of accurate atomic orbitals and of simplified analytic representations provides insight into the effect of radial nodes on orbital shape. The concept of effective principal quantum number is used to extend simple analytic representation to the heavier elements.
