This is a table of orthonormalized spherical harmonics that employ the Condon-Shortley phase up to degree l = 10. Some of these formulas give the "Cartesian" version. This assumes x, y, z, and r are related to and through the usual spherical-to-Cartesian coordinate transformation:

Spherical harmonics

l = 0[1]

l = 1[1]

l = 2[1]

l = 3[1]

l = 4[1]

l = 5[1]

l = 6

l = 7

l = 8

l = 9

l = 10

Real spherical harmonics

For each real spherical harmonic, the corresponding atomic orbital symbol (s, p, d, f, g) is reported as well.

l = 0[2][3]

l = 1[2][3]

l = 2[2][3]

l = 3[2]

l = 4
