NEET Chemistry Orbitals Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The probability density |ψ|² is always positive. | Reason (R): The probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom is determined by the square of the orbital wave function.
A
Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
B
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
C
(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D
(A) is false.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The probability density |ψ|² represents the likelihood of finding an electron and is always positive, while the probability of finding an electron is related to the square of the orbital wave function.
