Identify the correct statements from the following: A. Heisenberg...

Identify the correct statements from the following:
A. Heisenberg uncertainty principle is applicable to electrons.
B. The size of 2px2p_x orbital is less than the size of 3px3p_x orbital.
C. The energy of 2s2s orbital of H atom is equal to the energy of 2s2s orbital of Li.
D. The electronic configuration of Cr is [Ar]3d54s1[\text{Ar}] 3d^5 4s^1
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. AA, B and C Only
  2. BA, B and D Only
  3. CB, C and D Only
  4. DA, C and D Only

Correct answer

B. A, B and D Only

Step-by-step solution

Statement A is correct. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is applicable to microscopic particles such as electrons.

Statement B is correct. The size of an orbital increases with an increase in the principal quantum number nn. Thus, the size of the 3px3p_x orbital is greater than that of the 2px2p_x orbital.

Statement C is incorrect. The energy of an orbital depends on the effective nuclear charge. Since the nuclear charge of Li (Z=3Z=3) is greater than that of H (Z=1Z=1), the energy of the 2s2s orbital of Li is lower than that of the 2s2s orbital of H.

Statement D is correct. Chromium (Z=24Z=24) has an anomalous electronic configuration of [Ar]3d54s1[\text{Ar}] 3d^5 4s^1 due to the extra stability of the half-filled dd-subshell.

Therefore, statements A, B, and D are correct.

Answer: A, B and D Only
