The number of angular nodes and radial nodes in 3 s orbital are
Options
- A0 and 2 , respectively
- B1 and 0 , respectively
- C3 and 0 , respectively
- D0 and 1 , respectively
Correct answer
A. 0 and 2 , respectively
Step-by-step solution
No. of angular nodes = ℓ No. of Radial nodes = n - ℓ - 1 For 3 s ;   n = 3 and ℓ = 0 ∴ No. of angular nodes = 0 ∴ No. of radial nodes = 2
