Detailed Solution

  • The graphs drawn between ψ2 and  r  are known as radial probability distribution curves.
  • Radial nodes for 2s orbital = n - l - 1 = 2 - 0 - 1 = 1(n = 2 & l = 0).
  • Hence, fourth option represents electron probability density of 2s electron where, the probability density first decreases sharply to zero and again starts increasing.
