Which one of the following about an electron occupying the 1s orbital in a hydrogen atom is incorrect ? (The Bohr radius is represented by `a_(0)`).

A

The electron can be found at a distance `2a_(0)` from the nucleus

B

The magnitude of the potential energy is double that of its kinetic energy on an average

C

The total energy of the electron is maximum when it is at a distance `a_(0)` from the nucleus

D

The probability density of finding the electron is maximum at the nucleus

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

As the distance from nucleus increases total energy increases and is minimum at distance `a_(0)`
