The region where the probability of finding an electron is maximum, is called as?
Correct answer: C. Orbital
- A. Nucleus
- B. Atom
- C. Orbital
- D. Nodal plane
Explanation
OPTION A: The nucleus of an atom is the central region of an atom where the majority of the mass is concentrated. It contains the protons and neutrons. OPTION B: The atom is the smallest particle of matter. OPTION C: The region where the probability of finding an electron is maximum is called orbital. Hence, C is the correct option.OPTION D: A plane passing through the nucleus on which the probability of finding an electron is zero is called a nodal plane.

About Shapes of Orbitals
Atomic orbitals are three-dimensional regions where an electron is most likely to be found, not fixed circular paths. The content covers the spherical s orbitals, dumbbell-shaped p orbitals, clover-shaped d orbitals, the orientations of orbitals, and how quantum numbers determine their shapes and energy levels.
