(a) Calculate the most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus in the ground state of hydrogen. (b) Find the average distance of the electron from the nucleus in the ground state of hydrogen and compare it with the result of (a). Quantum Mechanics in Three Spatial Dimensions 237 14. Calculate (r²) in the ground state of the hydrogen atom. Using this and the result of the Problem 13, calculate the uncertainty in the measurement of the distance of the electron from the nucleus in the ground state of hydrogen. 15.
