Question

Electron wave function and electron probability density

Answer 1

✔✅Orbitals and probability density. The value of the wave function ψ at a given point in space— x , y , z x, y, z x,y,zx, comma, y, comma, z—is proportional to the amplitude of the electron matter wave at that point. ... The function ψ2 is often called the probability density.

Answer 2

In quantum mechanics, the physical state of an electron is described by awave function. According to the standard probability interpretation, thewave function of an electron isprobability amplitude, and its modulus square gives the probability density of finding the electron in a certain position in space.
