Question

We earlier investigated the probability density of a 1s orbital and discovered that there was a greater probability for electrons to be found near the nucleus. Now we are investigating molecules. Which statement about probability densities is true When we studied atoms, we spoke of the radial probability function. This was appropriate because atoms are spherical. The same is true for molecules, although some slight modifications have to be accounted for. The probability density of electrons in an atoms can be described in terms of the density along the internuclear axes. Radial probability distribution can be used for describing molecules because they are made up of atoms. A molecules is not spherical. Therefore, we describe electron density along internuclear axes, because more than one atom is involved in a molecule
