Chemical Urban Legends: Hydrogen Atomic Orbitals

We look at several common ideas about atomic orbitals:

• The principal quantum number, n, controls the size of the orbital.
  
• s orbitals have no nodes
  
• Which is larger (extends further from the nucleus), a 2s or a 2p orbital?
  
• Which is larger, the 2s orbital in C5+ or the 2s orbital in Li2+?
  

Are they all true? Use the Mathematica notebook posted below to uncover the mysteries....
