Solution
The correct options are A Spherical node appears B Electron probability density is highest in the vicinity of the nucleus C Probability density drops to zero after maximum probability is reached D Probability density rises to second highest value For 2s− electrons of H− atom (first excited state),
For 1s− electron of H− atom in ground state,
At point A,r=a0 At point B,r>a0 ∴(a) True (b) True (c) True (d) True
