Abstract
By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we derive the normal ordering expansion of the power of radial coordinate operators in the n -dimensional coordinate space. The use of Bessel function has greatly simplified the calculation. Moreover, the use of Kummer's first formula for the confluent hypergeometric function makes the result neat and concise.
