Chapter 11, Problem 25A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The probability of finding electron in an orbital is not 100%, reason behind this is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Orbital is such a hollow sphere where maximum two electrons are probably to be found.

Answer to Problem 25A

Two electrons of an orbit are not restricted to that track but it can be found anywhere in the orbital.

Explanation of Solution

Orbital is such a hollow sphere where maximum two electrons are probably to be found. We can say that, two electrons of an orbit are not restricted to that pathway but it can be found anywhere in the orbital.

Conclusion

The probability of finding the electrons inside the orbital is not exceeds the 90% because two electrons of an orbit are not restricted to that pathway but it can be found anywhere in the orbital.
