Nanqy:
Request: Draw the 1s, 2s, 3s, 2p, and 3p orbitals and indicate their radial and angular nodes.

Help me with this, please.
I looked online, but I couldn't find any drawings that show where the nodes are. I could only find the orbitals s and 2p(without nodes). If you could also recommend me books or webpages that focus on drawings orbitals like 3p, 4p... I would appreciate it. The book I have here simply does not have these more in-depth illustrations, but my teacher is asking for them.

Borek:
What are the nodes?

Just take any picture you find and mark nodes on them.

Back in the dark ages of my youth it was enough to just schematically sketch these things on paper ;)

How? I don't know where they should be, that's why I'm asking.   ;)

As I said, I just know about the s orbitals.

That probably means you are expected to dig a bit deeper than your book. There are some nice (and free) resources on the web, like LibreTexts for example.
