Statement I: According to wave mechanics, the atomic orbitals can be expressed by wave functions (Ψ ’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.

According to wave mechanics, the atomic orbitals can be expressed by wave functions (

Ψ

'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.
