Which one of the following about an electron occupying the 1 s orbital in a hydrogen atom is incorrect ? (Bohr's radius is represented by a

a_0

)

Which one of the following about an electron occupying the 1 s orbital in a hydrogen atom is incorrect ? (Bohr's radius

Options

AThe probability density of finding the electron is maximum at the nucleus
BThe electron can be found at a distance $2 \mathrm{a}_0$ from the nucleus
CThe 1 s orbital is spherically symmetrical
DThe total energy of the electron is maximum when it is at a distance $a_0$ from the nucleus

Correct answer

D. The total energy of the electron is maximum when it is at a distance $a_0$ from the nucleus

Step-by-step solution

\Psi^2=

Probability density is maximum at nucleus.
2. Electron can exist upto infinity from nucleus.
3. True
4. Energy of electron is maximum at infinite distance from nucleus.
