NEET Chemistry Orbitals Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The boundary surface diagram for a given orbital encloses a region where the probability of finding an electron is very high.
Reason (R): The probability density |ψ|^2 for an orbital wave function is always positive and represents the probability of finding an electron at a point.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The boundary surface diagram is based on the probability density |ψ|^2, which is always positive and represents high probability regions for electrons, thus explaining A.
