Assertion : Number of radial and angular nodes for 3 p -orbital are 1,1 respectively. Reason : Number of radial and angular nodes depends only on principal quantum number.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
For 3 p -orbital, number of radial nodes =n-l-1=3-1-1=3-2=1 Number of angular nodes =l=1 Number of radial and angular nodes depend on both n and l .
