Recall how atomic orbitals look like, and thatthey are labeled with +/- signs. The atomic orbital shown here is a p orbital. Which of the statements below is/are right?

(A) The signs stand for charges. The electron is negatively charged, therefore it is in the “-” region.

(B) The numerical value of the wave function of the electron is positive in the “+” region, negative in the “-” region. The signs do not make any statement about where the probability of finding the electron is higher.

(C) The signs symbolize the phase of the wave function and will actually change over time, where the time dependence is given by e-iEt/ħ.

(D) ... (A) and (C)
