Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

If qualitative sketch of the dependence probability  on r is drawn, we would get option A as answer.

Probability function is a exponential function.

The graph shows that the probability of finding electron in 1s will never reach zero.

But if we plot probability P multiplied with volume versus r we would get option D as answer.
