1where the probability of finding an electron is zero
6 Answers
62Someone told this to me recently.. electrons are like free birds (in the orbital theory).. they are allowed to move everywhere...
But then there are some very few places which are forbidden.... like the electrons are not allowed there :)
so this is taken as that :)
1ya bayyah.. of course electrons are allowed to revolve on in permissible orbits where the momentum is integral multiple of h/2pi..
62That was bohr's atomic model..
But that concept does not work in the orbital theory..
With orbital theory we work with probabilities and not with fixed orbits..
1probability of finding the elctron in space gives an orbital
there wherever there is zero probability , there we have , a node which can be a plane(p) or a spherical shell(s) or a set of planes(d)
