Statement 1 : The plots of probability density and radial probability function versus distance r from the nucleus for any particular orbital are not identical,
Statement 2 : Probability density is `psi^(2)` whereas radial probability function represents probability of finding the electron in a shell of thickness dr.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

The plots are not identical. The probability `(psi^(2))` is along the radial distance whereas radial probability function `(4 pi r^(2) psi^(2))` is the probability in a shell of thickness dr.
