Question

Assertion: The orbital wave function or  ψ  for an electron in an atom has no physical significance.
Reason: The square of wave function |ψ|2  gives the probability of finding an electron in an orbital.

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is correct but reason is false

Explanation:

the square of orbital wave function gives the probability density of finding an electron at a point , hence |Ψ|² gives the probability density

|Ψ|²dV gives the probability of finding the electron in a small volume
