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
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement is true but Statement II is false
- DStatement is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
C. Statement 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. at that point. So, Statement II is false.
