Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryStructure of Atom
Which one of the following about an electron occupying the 1s orbital in a hydrogen atom is incorrect? (The Bohr radius is represented by a 0 ).
Options
- AThe total energy of the electron is maximum when it is at a distance a 0 from the nucleus.
- BThe electron can be found at a distance 2 a 0 from the nucleus.
- CThe probability density of finding the electron is maximum at the nucleus.
- DThe magnitude of the potential energy is double that of its kinetic energy on an average.
Correct answer
B. The electron can be found at a distance 2 a 0 from the nucleus.
Step-by-step solution
From the graph it is clear that probability of finding electron is maximum at the nucleus
