Question

The probability of finding out an electron at a point within an atom is proportional to the, square of the orbital wave function i.e., ψ 2, orbital wave function i.e., ψ, Hamiltonian operator i.e., H, principal quantum number i.e., n

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

ψ 2 is known as probability density and is always positive. From the value of ψ 2 at different points within an atom it is possible to predict the region around the nucleus where electron will most probably be found.
