Which of the folowing statements is incorrect about an atomic orbital?

A

It is a single electron wave function.

B

It describes the trajectroy of electron in an atom.

C

It define the distribution of electron density in space.

D

It can be represented by boundary surface diargams.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

An orbital is a well defined path (trajectory) around the nucleus in which the eletron moves whereas an orbital is a three-dimensional space around the nucleus within which the total probability of finding the eletorn is around `90%`.
