This is a problem from the book with the answers. Can you please show step by step for 6-20 and 6-21. Please

**6-20. Probability Calculation for Hydrogen 1s Electron**

Calculate the probability that a hydrogen 1s electron will be found within a distance \(2a_0\) from the nucleus.

---

This problem is similar to Example 6-10. The wave function for the 1s orbital of hydrogen is:

\[
\psi_{100} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi}} \left( \frac{1}{a_0} \right)^{3/2} e^{-\sigma}
\]

where \(\sigma = r/a_0\), and the probability that the electron will be found within a distance \(2a_0\) from the nucleus is

\[
\begin{align*}
\text{prob} &= \int_0^{2\pi} d\phi \int_0^{\pi} \sin \theta \, d\theta \int_0^{2a_0} dr \, r \left( \frac{1}{\pi} \left( \frac{1}{a_0} \right)^3 \right) e^{-2\sigma} \\
&= 4 \left( \frac{1}{a_0} \right)^{3} \int_0^{2a_0} dr \, r^2 e^{-2\sigma} = 4 \int_0^{2} d\sigma \, \sigma^2 e^{-2\sigma} \\
&= 4 \left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{13}{4} e^{-4} \right) = 1 - 13 e^{-4} = 0.762
\end{align*}
\]

**6-21. Radius Calculation for Probability Sphere for Hydrogen 1s Electron**

Calculate the radius of the sphere that encloses a 50% probability of finding a hydrogen 1s electron. Repeat the calculation for a 90% probability.

---

The probability that a 1s electron will be found within a distance \(D a_0\) of the nucleus is given by

\[
\begin{align*}
\text{prob}(D) &= \int_0^{2\pi} d\phi \int_0^{\pi} \sin \theta \, d\theta \int_0^{Da_0} dr
