NEET Chemistry Quantum Mechanical Model Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The probability of finding an electron in an atom is determined by the square of the wave function, |ψ|².
Reason (R): The wave function itself carries a direct physical meaning and defines the path of an electron.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because |ψ|² gives the probability density of finding an electron. The reason is false since the wave function itself does not have a direct physical meaning.
