It is time - yes, but please not with this wrong image. Always think about the parameters you are ignoring. (Fancy colors do not help)!

What parameters am I ignoring? The ‘fancy’ colors are the arg of the spherical harmonic, which is why you see it repeat after a half-rotation

That accounts for all degrees of freedom in the angular wave function, as I’ve superimposed real and imaginary parts colored by arg(z)

Well, translational, rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom are imho nothing that help understand the essence of electron density or core composition of different atoms.

What? The radial and rotational degrees of freedom and the schrödinger equation are literally all there is to hydrogen quantum mechanically.. If you want to get into a core understanding of atomic structure you need to solve confinement first (a 1m$ prize awaits)
