We construct the radial density, the
probability of the electron and positron beads being separated by a
certain distance. (For hydrogen, this is the distance from
the electron to the nucleus.)
Note that the hydrogen peaks around 1, whereas positronium peaks around
2. This means that if you look for an electron, you are more likely to
find it closer to the nucleus in hydrogen than to the positron in
positronium. It also means that positronium
is more spread out and flimsy than hydrogen, which
is important in an electric field.
