The electron probability density dristribution in this atom (state: n=2, l=1, m=0) takes the form of "caps" symmetrically located on either side of the nucleus (not shown). |
Opposing cap-like structures dominate the morphology of the planetary nebula NGC 6563. |
Another example of the class of planetary nebulae characterized by symmetric "caps" morphology; this is NGC 6058. |
