Chemistry · Structure of atom
हिन्दीConsider the following statements regarding the quantum mechanical model of an atom:\n(A) The energy of electrons in atoms is quantized.\n(B) The exact path of an electron can be determined accurately if both position and momentum are measured simultaneously.\n(C) An atomic orbital is the wave function \( \psi \) for an electron in an atom.\n(D) The probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom is proportional to \( |\psi|^2 \). \nWhich of the above statements are correct?
Correct answer · Option 3
(A), (C) and (D) only
Explanation
Statement (B) is false because Heisenberg's uncertainty principle rules out exact trajectories. Statements (A), (C), and (D) are core tenets of the quantum mechanical model.
