1. 1s and 2s atomic orbitals are spherical in shape.
2. The probability of finding the electron is maximum near the nucleus.
3. The probability of finding the electron at a given distance is equal in all directions.
4. The probability density of electrons for 2s-orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.

Answer

(D) The probability density of electrons for 2 s -orbital decreases uniformly as distance from the nucleus increases.
