The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the radial distribution function \( P(r) \) for the 1s orbital of a hydrogen-like atom, we need to analyze the given expression for \( \frac{dP(r)}{dr} \) and determine the most probable radius. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Radial Distribution Function The radial distribution function \( P(r) \) describes the probability of finding an electron at a distance \( r \) from the nucleus in a given orbital. For the 1s orbital of a hydrogen-like atom, the expression for \( \frac{dP(r)}{dr} \) is given as: \[ \frac{dP(r)}{dr} = \frac{4Z^3}{a_0^3} \left( 2r - \frac{2Zr^2}{a_0} \right) e^{-\frac{2Zr}{a_0}} \] ### Step 2: Set the Derivative to Zero To find the most probable radius, we need to find the value of \( r \) where \( \frac{dP(r)}{dr} = 0 \). This occurs at the maximum value of the radial distribution function. Setting the equation to zero: \[ \frac{4Z^3}{a_0^3} \left( 2r - \frac{2Zr^2}{a_0} \right) e^{-\frac{2Zr}{a_0}} = 0 \] Since \( e^{-\frac{2Zr}{a_0}} \) is never zero, we focus on the term inside the parentheses: \[ 2r - \frac{2Zr^2}{a_0} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( r \) Rearranging the equation: \[ 2r = \frac{2Zr^2}{a_0} \] Dividing both sides by \( 2r \) (assuming \( r \neq 0 \)): \[ 1 = \frac{Zr}{a_0} \] Thus, we find: \[ r = \frac{a_0}{Z} \] This gives us the most probable radius for the electron in the 1s orbital of a hydrogen-like atom. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Statements Now we evaluate the correctness of the statements provided: 1. **Statement 1**: At the point of maximum value of radial distribution function \( \frac{dP(r)}{dr} = 0 \) is correct. 2. **Statement 2**: The most probable radius of \( \text{Li}^{2+} \) (Z=3) is \( \frac{a_0}{3} \) picometers, which is correct. 3. **Statement 3**: The most probable radius of \( \text{He}^+ \) (Z=2) is \( \frac{a_0}{2} \) picometers, which is also correct. 4. **Statement 4**: The most probable radius of hydrogen (Z=1) is \( a_0 \) picometers, which is correct. ### Conclusion All statements are correct. Therefore, the answer is that all statements (A, B, C, D) are correct. ---
