In the wave mechanical theory, the maximum of the charge distribution in the ground state occurs for a distance from the nucleus equal to
A.
first Bohr radius
|
B.
second Bohr radius
|
C.
third Bohr radius
|
D.
either first or second Bohr radius
|
Answer : Option A
Explanation :
The total charge associated with an electron moving about nucleus in the ground state of hydrogen atom is given by 4p2rr(r)dr.
This integrand has a maximum value at r = radius of first Bohr orbit.
