Consider following figure A and B indicating distribution of charge density (electron probability 
) with distance r.
Select the correct statement:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The point at which the probability function acquires zero value is known as a radial node.
The number of radial node 
where, 
principal quantum number
azimuthal quantum number
In graph A, there is no radial node i.e is because is ( 
) has no node.
In graph 
, there is one radial node i.e 
because 
has one radial node.
