Consider the following radial distribution function diagrams. Which of the following has the correct matching of curve and orbital ?
Options
- AI(3s), II(3p), III(3d)
- BI(3d), II(3p), III(3s)
- CI(3s), II(3d), III(3p)
- DI(3p), II(3d), III(3s)
Correct answer
D. I(3p), II(3d), III(3s)
Step-by-step solution
No of radial node = n - ℓ - 1 . I(3p) ---- n = 3 and ℓ =1. One radial node II(3d) ---- n = 3 and ℓ =2. No radial node III(3s) ---- n = 3 and ℓ =0. Two radial nodes. All the orbitals provided in choices belong to match. I(3p), II(3d), III(3s)
