Question

P is the probability of finding the 1s electron hydrogen atom in a spherical shell of infinitesimal thickness dr, at a distance r from the nucleus. The volume of this shell is `4pi r^(2) dr`. The qualitative sketch of the dependence of P on r is
A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
For 1s electron of hydrogen atom, plot of radial probability function `(4pir^(2) R^(2))` is as shown in plot (c)
