On the basis of above diagram which of the following statement is incorrect ?
A. Is and 2s orbitals are spherical in shape.
B. The probability of finding the electron is maximum near the nucleus.
C. The probability of finding the electron at a given distance is equal in all directions.
D. The probability density of electrons for 2s orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.
Answer:D
On the basis of above diagram which of the following statement is incorrect ?
A. Is and 2s orbitals are spherical in shape. B. The probability of finding the electron is maximum near the nucleus. C. The probability of finding the electron at a given distance is equal in all directions. D. The probability density of electrons for 2s orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.
Explanation: The probability density of electrons in 2s orbital first increases and then decreases. It increases again as distance from nucleus increases.
