Does atomic orbitals possess a sharp boundary? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, atomic orbitals does not possess a sharp boundary. This is because the electron clouds are scattered to a large distance from the nucleus. The density of electron clouds decreases with increasing distance from the nucleus but theoretically it never becomes zero.
