Hmm, why does the hydrogen atom look like a d orbital?
Isn't it 1s1 in the ground state so the probability distribution would look like a sphere.
I assume it's just mislabeled, it's a high-angular-momentum hydrogenic orbital, chosen because it looks cool and because it's trivial to evaluate (a spherical harmonic times a simple radial term).
