Question: The radii of maximum probability for 3s, 3p and 3d electrons are in the order
Options:
A) $ {{(r _{max})} _{3d}}>{{(r _{max})} _{3p}}>{{(r _{max})} _{3s}} $
B) $ {{(r _{max})} _{3d}}>{{(r _{max})} _{3s}}>{{(r _{max})} _{3p}} $
C) $ {{(r _{max})} _{3s}}>{{(r _{max})} _{3p}}>{{(r _{max})} _{3d}} $
D) none of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Radius of maximum probability decrease with increase in azimuthal quantum no.
