Interactive simulation that builds up hydrogen atomic orbitals by randomly sampling electron positions from each orbital's probability distribution. Particles are coloured by the sign of the wavefunction to show nodes and lobes. Below the 3D view, three plots show thin cross-sections through the xy, xz and yz planes.
