Question

What is the most probable distance from the nucleus at which a 2p electron will be found in the H atom ?

Answer 1

Answer:

| R 2 21 | . r 2 = r 4 24 a 5 0 . e− r a 0

Explanation:

probable state its more a orbit with more number of electron is know as probable most orbit.

here, the most probable distance from the nucleus where a 2 P electron is found in the 'H' atom would be that time when the probable density will reach to the MAXIMUM (maximum)

in mathematical term it can be written as

[R(r)]2 r 2

| R 2 21 | . r 2 = r 4 24 a 5 0 . e− r a 0

from the above both the equations it is clear how we can find the the most probable distance of a 2 p electron
