Message:
When I studied the solutions to the hydrogen atom, it seems 
as though we concentrated on the electron densities. What
about the nucleus? It must have a corresponding probability 
cloud. Does it too have the kinds of orbitals that the 
electron does? You know, the 2p orbital with their lobes
and such.

Just wondering, no homework assignments riding on this one.
