Q.

Which of the following combination of statement is true regarding interpretation of the atomic orbitals ? 
(i) An electron in orbital of high angular momentum stays away from the nucleus that an electron in the orbit of low angular momentum.
(ii) For the given value of principal quantum number, the size of the orbital is inversely proportional to the azimuthal quantum no.
(iii) According to wave mechanics, the ground state angular momentum is equal to h2π.
(iv) The plot of ψ vs r for various azimuthal quantum numbers, shows peak shifting towards higher value of r.

Detailed Solution

According to wave mechanics angular momentum of orbitals depends on I i. e., l(l+1),h2π. Therefore (iii) is wrong. Also size of the orbital does not depend on 'l' so (ii) is wrong. Thus, only (i) is correct.
