Although the maximum electron density of a 1s orbital is at the nucleus, why the radial density for this orbital is zero at the nucleus?
a. The volume factor (4*pi*r2) is zero at r = 0.
b. Electron can not get into a nucleus.
c. No two particles can occupy the same space.
d. The angular momentum keeps the electron away from the nucleus.
 
does anyone know that answer to this? if i had to take a wild guess, it would be D. but thats just a wild guess.
