Yes... in fact there are exact solutions for all the atomic orbitals of hydrogen atom in spherical coordinates, ψnlml(r,θ,ϕ)=Rnl(r)Ymll(θ,ϕ).

Does hydrogen atom have one electron?


Some of the wave functions are given here:

And likewise, these orbitals are accurate for He+, Li2+, Be3+, etc. What is special about these atoms?
