Text: 1. Radial Nodes (The "Onion Layers")Radial nodes occur at specific distances from the nucleus. If you were to slice an orbital open, a radial node would look like an empty, spherical shell—much like the empty space between the layers of an onion.Because the formula for radial nodes is $n - l - 1$, orbitals with low $l$ values (like $s$ orbitals where $l=0$) have the most radial nodes for their energy level. Figures: 1s: blue fuzzball 2s: blue-white-red fuzzball (hmm...) 3s: blue-white-red-white-red fuzzball??? white segments are labeled "Nodes"
