NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about the probability density of an electron in an atom is correct?

A

The probability density is constant across all regions of the atom.

B

The probability density |ψ|² varies in different regions of the atom.

C

The probability of finding an electron is the same in all volume elements.

D

The total probability of finding an electron cannot be calculated.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The probability density |ψ|² varies from one region to another in space, but can be assumed constant within a small volume element, allowing for the calculation of probable electron distribution.
