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

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

The density of dots in a region represents the probability density of finding electrons in the region.
On the basis of above diagram which of the following statements is incorrect?
Options
- A and orbitals are spherical in shape.
- BThe probability of finding the electron is maximum near the nucleus.
- CThe probability of finding the electron at a given distance is equal in all directions.
- DThe probability density of electrons for orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.
Correct answer
D. The probability density of electrons for orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.
Step-by-step solution
The probability density of electrons in orbital first increases then decreases and after that it increases again as distance increases from nucleus.
