The nucleus of an atom is lecated at `x= y= z = 0` a. If the probability of finding an x electron in a tiny volume around `x= a,y = z = 0 ` is `1.0 xx 10^(-5)` what is the produbility of finding the electron in the same sized volume around `x = z = 0 = a`? b. what will be the probility as the second size if the electrns is in p orbital ? Explain |

Answer» The distance of s orbital `1.0 xx 10^(-3)` is the same for two volumes is (i.e. `s= a,y = a,a= 1.0 xx 10^(-3))` and the s orbital is spherecally symmetrical hence the probility of finding the electron in each of two solutions is same b. Since the `p_(2)` orbital has a nodfe at `z= 0` the probability of finding the electron in this volume is zero |
