Which of the following does not represent a correct graph of radial probability distribution functio — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question
Question
Which of the following does not represent a correct graph of radial probability distribution function ($4\pi r^2\psi^2$) versus distance $r$ from the nucleus?
Answer: D
💡 Solution & Explanation
For any orbital, the radial probability distribution function ($4\pi r^2\psi^2$) must exactly be zero at the origin ($r=0$) because the volume term ($4\pi r^2$) becomes zero.
