The radial wave equation for hydrogen atom is
ψ=11641aο32x⁡-1x2⁡-8x⁡+12e-x2
wherex=2rao,aο=radius of first bohr's orbit the minimum and maximum position of radial nodes from nucleus are:

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

For node ψ2=0, So alsoΨ=0
So for:ψ=11641aο32x⁡-1x2⁡-8x⁡+12e-x2
x⁡-1x2⁡-8x⁡+12should be equal to zero
x⁡-1x2⁡-8x⁡+12=0, solve the equation
x⁡-1x2⁡-8x⁡+12
X=1, 2, 6
i.e.r=0.5aο,aο,3aο;
∵x=2raο
So minimum0.5aο
maximum 3aο
