Question

7. T or F The location of an electron in an atom is described by a wavefunction (w) known as an atomic orbital, atomic orbitals are designated by the quantum numbers n, 1, and m I'or FThe probability of finding an electron in a certain region of space is inversely proportional to the square of the wave function, y2 9. T or F Atomic orbitals have a characteristic energy and a characteristic distribution of electron density. 10. T or F The Schrödinger equation specifies the possible energy states that electron can occupy in a hydrogen atom and identifies the corresponding wave functions

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

7)

It is true as the location of the electron in an atom is described by a wavefunction known as the atomic orbitals

and the atomic orbitals are designated by the quantum number n,l and m

8)True, the probability of finding the electron in a certain region of space is given by the square of the wave function, ?2. As per the wave theory, the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave, or ?2.

9) True, An atomic orbital has a characteristic energy and a characteristic distribution of electron density.

10)True, Schrodinger equation specifies the possible energy states the electron can occupy in a hydrogen atom and identifies the corresponding wave functions
