- The wave function is a mathematical function whose value depends coordinates of the electron in an atom and does not carry any physical significance. So, Statement I is true. - 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. So, Statement II is false.
Given below are two statements : Statement I : The value of wave function, ψ depends upon the coordinates of the electron in the atom. Statement II :…
