Correct answer: A
The user wants me to identify the correct combination of orbital, its wave function, and its properties from the given table for a hydrogen atom.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
We need to evaluate each option by checking the consistency of the three parts: the orbital name (Column 1), its mathematical wave function (Column 2), and its angular property (Column 3).
1. Analyze the components of the table:
-
Column 1 & 2 (Orbital and Wave Function):
- (I) 1s orbital: The quantum numbers are . The wave function is . The radial part and the angular part is a constant. Thus, . This matches (i).
- (II) 2s orbital: The quantum numbers are . The wave function is . None of the functions in Column 2 match this form.
- (III) 2p_z orbital: The quantum numbers are . The wave function is . The radial part and the angular part . Thus, . This matches (ii).
- (IV) 3d_{z^2} orbital: The quantum numbers are . The wave function is . The radial part and the angular part . Thus, . This matches (iv).
-
Column 3 (Angular Properties):
- (P) : This describes the angular dependence of a orbital ().
- (Q) Probability density is maximum on xy plane: This is true for orbitals like . The probability density for orbitals is not maximum on the xy plane.
- (R) Probability density is constant on the surface : This means the probability density is spherically symmetric, which is a property of s-orbitals ().
- (S) Probability density is independent of azimuth angle : This means the wave function's angular part depends only on , not . This is true for all orbitals with magnetic quantum number (e.g., s-orbitals, , ). The probability density will also be independent of .
2. Evaluate the given options:
-
Option A: (I) (i) (S)
- (I) 1s orbital is correctly described by the wave function (i) . The pairing (I)-(i) is correct.
- For a (I) 1s orbital, the wave function is spherically symmetric, meaning it depends only on . Therefore, its probability density is independent of both and . The statement (S) Probability density is independent of azimuth angle is true for a 1s orbital.
- All three parts of this combination are consistent. This option is correct.
-
Option B: (II) (i) (Q)
- (II) 2s orbital is NOT described by the wave function (i) , which is for the 1s orbital.
- The pairing (II)-(i) is incorrect. This option is incorrect.
-
Option C: (I) (i) (P)
- (I) 1s orbital is correctly described by the wave function (i). The pairing (I)-(i) is correct.
- However, the property (P) describes a orbital, not a spherically symmetric 1s orbital.
- The pairing (I)-(P) is incorrect. This option is incorrect.
-
Option D: (I) (iv) (R)
- (I) 1s orbital is NOT described by the wave function (iv) , which is for the orbital.
- The pairing (I)-(iv) is incorrect. This option is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, only option A presents a fully correct and consistent combination of an orbital, its wave function, and its properties.
Final Answer is A.
