The Generalized Hydrogen Atom Wave function

In a chemistry book, I found the shapes of various orbitals and their corresponding wave functions. Then I asked myself, how they got those solutions. So I look
for the answer in the internet and finally I found the equation that I am looking for:

nIm

2n(n + l)!

It looks so simple but there are terms that should be expanded.

To simplify the first equation, we use

Then the equation becomes.

Combining the two new equations and we have.

This is the expanded general solution to the wave function of hydrogen atom.
With that equation we can derive the nature of the quantum numbers. Because a negative factorial is not impossible so we are to impose the following
restrictions on the quantum numbers.
l u (1)
n = u (2)
n + l u (S)
n - l -1 u (4)
l -m u (S)
l +m u (6)
Also, we are given that all the quantum numbers are integers. So combining eq. 3 and 4
2n -1 u
n
1
2

Since n is an integer, so we could rewrite it as
n 1
Therefore n is a natural number. If we manipulate eq. 4.
n -l - 1 u
n -1 l
And combining it with eq. 1.
u l n - 1
So that is the nature of the l quantum number. We try to manipulate eq. 5 and 6:
l -m u
l m
l +m u
m -l
Combining the resulting equations, we have.
-l m l
So, we can summarize the nature of the quantum numbers as follows:
n 1
u l n - 1
-l m l
