    Which one of the following expressions represent the electron probability function ?

    A)  \[4\,\pi \,r\,dr\,{{\psi }^{2}}\]                   

    B)  \[4\,\pi \,{{r}^{2}}\,dr\,\psi \]

    C)  \[4\,\pi \,{{r}^{2}}\,dr\,{{\psi }^{2}}\]                    

    D)  \[4\,\pi \,r\,dr\,\psi \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     The radial probability distribution of electron may be obtained by plotting the function \[\text{4}{{\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }}^{\text{2}}}{{\text{r}}^{\text{2}}}\text{R}_{\text{n,l}}^{\text{2}}\]against r, its distance from the nucleus. Such graphs are known as radial probability distribution curves. Similar curves are obtained if the complete  wave function \[\psi \]is taken in the expression  \[4{{\pi }^{2}}{{R}^{2}}.dr.\]when the  latter becomes \[4{{\pi }^{2}}{{r}^{2}}{{\psi }^{2}}dr.\] So, the probability function\[\sigma =4\pi {{r}^{2}}dr{{\psi }^{2}}\]
