Final answer:
The claim that the square of Schrödinger's wave equation is called an orbital is false. Orbitals are regions of space defined by the probability density derived from the magnitude squared of the wavefunction, not from the wave equation itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the square of Schrödinger's wave equation is called an orbital is false. In quantum mechanics, the Schrödinger wave equation describes the wavefunction (or Ψ) of a particle, which contains information about the probability amplitude of particle positions in space. The square of the magnitude of the wavefunction, |Ψ|^2 (or ΨΨ*), provides the probability density, not an orbital itself. An orbital is a region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron, which can be determined using the wavefunction. This quantum mechanical concept of the orbital is a refinement of the Bohr model's well-defined circular orbits around the nucleus.
