Answer:
A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space.
Explanation:
The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger formulated an equation that describes the behavior and energies of submicroscopic particles in general.
The Schrödinger equation i<u>ncorporates both particle behavior</u>, in terms of <u>mass m</u>, and wave behavior, in terms of a <u><em>wave function ψ</em></u>, which depends on the location in space of the system (such as an electron in an atom).
The probability of finding the electron in a certain region in space is proportional to the square of the wave function, ψ². According to wave theory, the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave, or ψ². <u>The most likely place to find a photon is</u> where the intensity is greatest, that is, <u>where the value of ψ² is greatest</u>. A similar argument associates ψ² with the likelihood of finding an electron in regions surrounding the nucleus.
