Given below are two statements : Statement I : The value of wave function, depends upon the coordinates of the electron in the atom. Statement II : The probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom is proportional to the orbital wave function. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. DStatement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct answer

C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Step-by-step solution

- The wave function is a mathematical function whose value depends coordinates of the electron in an atom and does not carry any physical significance. So, Statement I is true. - The probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom is proportional to the square of the orbital wave function i.e. | |^2 at that point. So, Statement II is false.
