If P(r)is the radial probability density function for an electron in the ground state of a hydrogen atom,the most probable value for r can be found from A)dP/dt B)dP/dr E)d²P/dr²

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most probable value for r corresponds to the maximum value of the radial probability density function, which occurs at the peak of the function. This peak can be found by taking the derivative of the function with respect to r and setting it equal to zero, which gives us the maximum value of the function. Therefore, the answer is (B) dP/dr.
