The graph between variation of probability density, ^2(r) and distance of the electron from the nucleus, r is shown below. This represents
Options
- A1 s- orbital
- B2 s - orbital
- C3 s- orbital
- D2 p -orbital
Correct answer
B. 2 s - orbital
Step-by-step solution
The region where probability density function, _ ( r ) ^2 reduces to zero is called nodel surfaces or simply nodes ns orbital has ( n -1) nodes. Given graph has one node. So it should be 2 s -orbital. General formula for calculating radial nodes in ( n -1-1)
