What is the probability of finding a 1shydrogen electron at distance r>aBfrom the proton?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability of finding a 1shydrogen electron at a r>aBis 67.7%

Step by step solution

01

The radial wave function:

Let the radial wave function of the electron in 1sstate of hydrogen is,

Pr(r)=4Ï€°ù2Rnl(r)2

Here, Ais the normalization constant and aBis the Bohr radius.

Radial probability density of electron in the 1sstate is,

localid="1648724818627" P(r)=4Ï€°ù2Ris(r)2

Probability of finding is hydrogen electron at a distance r>aBfrom the proton is given by,

(r>aB)=∫aB∞pr(r)dr

Here, P(r)=4Ï€°ù2Ris(r)2

=4Ï€°ù21Ï€²¹B3eraB2=4Ï€°ù2Ï€²¹B3e-2raB=4r2aB3e-2raB(r>aB)=∫aB∞4r2aB3e-2raBdr=∫0∞4r2aB3e-2raBdr-∫0aB4r2aB3e-2raBdr

02

Further calculation:

But we have=∫0∞xne-axdr=n!αn+1

role="math" localid="1648725359957" =∫aB∞4r2aB3e-2raBdr=4aB32!2aB3=8aB38aB3=1

Now=∫0aB4r2aB3e-2raBdr=4aB3r2e-2raB-2aB-∫0aB2re-2raB-2aBdr=4aB3aB3e-2-0-2aB+aBre-2raB-2aB-∫0aBe-2raB-2aB=4aB3-aB2aB2e-2+aBaBe-2aBaB-2aB-0+aB2e-2raB-2aBaB=4aB3-aB32e-2+aB-aB22e-2-aB4e-2-e0=4aB3aB3e-22+aB-aB2e-22-aB2e-24+aB24=4aB3-aB3e-22-aB3e-22-aB3e-24+aB34=4aB3-54aB3e-2+aB34=(-5e-2+1)=(1-5e-2)

03

Find probability:

The probability of finding a 1shydrogen electron at a distance r>aBis,

(r>aB)=1-(1-5e-2)=5e-2aB=(5)(0.135335)=0.67667=67.7%

Therefore, the probability is 67.7%
