The probability density plots of 1s and ...

The probability density plots of 1s and 2s atomic orbitals are given in figures.

The density of dots in a region represents the probability density of finding electrons in the region. On the basis of the above diagram, which of the following statements is incorect?

A

1s and 2s orbitals are spherical in shape.

B

The probability of finding the electron is maximum near the nucleus.

C

The probability of finding the electron at a given distance is equal in all directions.

D

The probability density of electron for 2s orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For 1s orbital, the probability density is maximum at the nucleus ant it decreases sharply as we move away from it. On the other hand, for 2s orbital, the probability density first decreases sharply to zero and again starts increasing.
