Q. What is the probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom?
a. proportional to the square of the orbital wave function
b. proportional to the orbital wave function
c. proportional to the twice of the orbital wave function
d. proportional to the cube of the orbital wave function
The probability of finding an electron at a point within an atom is proportional to the square of the orbital wave function i.e., ψ|² at that point. |ψ|² is known as probability density and is always positive.
