a
The donor atoms, molecules or anions which donate a pair of electrons to the metal atom or ion and form a coordinate bond with it are called ligands. In methane there is no electrons for donation to central metal atom/ ion it is stable with complete octet configuration.

The wave function $\psi_{n / m m}$ is a mathematical function whose value depends upon spherical polar coordinates $(r, \theta, \phi)$ of the electron and characterized by the quantum numbers $n, l$ and $m_l$. Here $r$ is distance from nucleus, $\theta$ is colatitude and $\phi$ is azimuth. In the mathematical functions given in the Table, $\mathrm{Z}$ is atomic number and $a_0$ is Bohr radius.
