The maximum radial probability in `1s`-orbital occures at a distance when : `[r_(0)= "Bohr radius"]`

A

`r=r_(0)`

B

`r=2r_(0)`

C

`r=r_(0)/2`

D

`2 r=r_(0)/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A has `0` nodes as `Psi^(2)` is not zero anywhere so it's `1 s (n-1=0)`
`B` has `1` node so, it is `2s` as `n-1=1`
