← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an improperly normalized atomic orbital wave function is used to compute a quantum mechanical property?
A)Inaccurate probability density calculation results✓
B)Energy levels become quantized correctly
C)Degeneracy of states is unaffected
D)Heisenberg uncertainty principle is violated
💡 Explanation
An improperly normalized wave function invalidates the probability interpretation, because the integral over all space won't equal unity, therefore the computed expectation value based on probability density is incorrect, rather than degeneracy or uncertainty being altered.
