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.
