The probability of finding an electron is the nucleus is:
Correct answer: B. Zero for all elements
- A. 100% due to the forces of attraction
- B. Zero for all elements
- C. Finite for all elements
- D. Zero for some elements and finite for others
Explanation
The probability of finding an electron in the nucleus is zero. An orbital represents the region around the nucleus, where the probability of finding the electron is maximum. Thus, an orbital is the three dimensional description of the most likely location of the electron in an atom. Inside the nucleus, electron speed would be greater than speed of light.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
