The probability density plots of 1 s and...

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

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

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 electrons for 2s orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The probability density of electrons in 2s orbital first increases then decreases and after that it begins to increases again as distance increases from nucleus.
