$\text { Among the following, the correct statement is }$
- AFor $\Psi(\mathbf{r})$ denoting the normalized wavefunction of a one-electron system, the value of $|\Psi(\mathbf{r})|^2$ at any point $\mathbf{r}$ cannot exceed one since the integral of $|\Psi(\mathbf{r})|^2$ over the whole space is one.
- B$\text { The ionization potential of } \mathrm{He} \text { atom is greater than that of } \mathrm{He}^{+} \text {ion. }$
- CIf the ionization potential of the hydrogen atom is 13.6 eV , the first excited state energy of the $\mathrm{He}^{+}$ion will be 13.6 eV .
- Correct answerDAccording to the prediction of simple molecular orbital theory, the bond orders of $\mathrm{He}_2^{+}$ion and $\mathrm{H}_2^{+}$ion are the same.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
