NEET Chemistry Quantum Mechanical Model Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
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.
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 C
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.
