Question

Which of the following statements concerning quantum mechanics is/are true?

The behavior of submicroscopic particles can sometimes be described as waves.

Quantum mechanics limits us to making statistical statements about the location of an electron in an atom.

The uncertainty principle is important only for particles of very small mass, such as the electron.

A.2 and 3

B.3 only

C.2 only

D.1 only

E.1, 2, and 3

Which of the following statements is incorrect concerning the wave function?

A.The value of the wave function gives the location of the particle.

B.For an electron in an atom, the square of the wave function decreases rapidly as the distance from the nucleus increases.

C.The wave function for an electron in an atom is called an atomic orbital.

D.The wave function of a particle is a solution to the Schrödinger equation.

E.The square of the wave function is proportional to the probability of finding the particle in a region of space.
