5.
In the wave mechanical theory, the maximum of the charge distribution in the ground state occurs for a distance from the nucleus equal to
first Bohr radius
second Bohr radius
third Bohr radius
either first or second Bohr radius
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The total charge associated with an electron moving about nucleus in the ground state of hydrogen atom is given by 4p2rr(r)dr.

This integrand has a maximum value at r = radius of first Bohr orbit.
