The wave function $\psi_{n, l, m_l}$ is a mathematical function whose value depends upon spherical polar coordinates $(r, \theta, \phi)$ of the electron and is characterized by the quantum numbers $n, l$ and $m_l$. Here $r$ is the distance from the nucleus,$\theta$ is the colatitude,and $\phi$ is the azimuth. In the mathematical functions given in the Table,$Z$ is the atomic number and $a_0$ is the Bohr radius.
