Q. Statement I : According to wave mechanics, the atomic orbitals can be expressed by wave functions $(\Psi$ ’s) which represent the magnitude of the electron waves. These are obtained from the solution of Schrodinger wave equation.
Statement II :The magnitude of H-bonding depends on the physical state of the compound. It is maximum in the gaseous state and minimum in the solid state.

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

According to wave mechanics, the atomic orbitals can be expressed by wave functions ( $\Psi$ 's) which represent the amplitude of the electron waves. These are obtained from the solution of Schrödinger wave equation.
The magnitude of $H$-bonding depends on the physical state of the compound. It is maximum in the solid state and minimum in the gaseous state.
