Solution

iv
For a 2p atomic orbital, l=1. The radial factor obeys
R′=Ne−r/2(1−r/2),R′′=Ne−r/2(r/4−1).
(1)
Substitution into the radial Schrödinger equation for a central potential gives
−21​R′′−rR′​+r2R​−rR​=−81​R.
(2)
Thus the energy eigenvalue is
E=−81​Eh​≃−3.40 eV.​
(3)
The normalization constant cancels; Eh​ is the Hartree energy.
