Assertion. The plots of probability density and radial probability function versus distance r from the nucleus for any particular orbital are not identical Reason. Probability density is `Psi^(2)` whereas radial probability function represents probability of finding the electron in a shell of thickness `dr`.A. If both assertion and reason are true, and reason is the true explanation of the arrertionB. If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the true explanation of the assertionalC. If assertion is true, but reason is falseD. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The plots are not identical (see Fig. 2.27 and 2.44) The probability density `(Psi^(2))` is along the radial distance whereas radial probability function `(4pi r^(2) Psi^(2))` is the probability in a shell of thickness dr. Hence R is the correct explanation of A.
