Question

electron is not localized around one particular atom and the probability of finding the electron is same throughout the crystal, justify the statement by using appropriate proof and which principle is related to this question
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The question is about whether the old uncertainty principle argument about non-existence of electrons inside the nucleus should be relied on or should it be discarded.

As Erik rightly points out, electrons with higher energies can be inside the nucleus, closer to the center of the nucleus, with an order of magnitude less position uncertainty, which will render the U.P. argument invalid. These electrons while being emitted from deep inside may upon doing work against the Coulomb attraction, finally appear to come out with lower energies as observed.
