Question

If a electron transmits from 1s to 2s then there will be a spherical node in between and it would have to cross it in order to reach 2s so there will be some probability of finding electron density at node also but if we see graph then there the electron density is 0 at node. How is it possible??


plz provide a answer with proper explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear friend,

Probability of finding an electron in an atom is more where it stays for a longer time.

During excitation the electron will not remain at node.

And excitation occurs in less then a milliseconds so it is difficult to find electron at node.

I hope this is helpful
