NEET Chemistry Quantum Mechanical Model MCQ Question
What does the probability density |ψ|² represent at any point in an atom?
The probability per unit volume of finding an electron.
The total energy of the atom at that point.
The average distance of an electron from the nucleus.
The speed of the electron in its orbital.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
|ψ|² gives the value of probability density at any point in an atom, which represents the probability per unit volume of finding the electron at that point.
