Which of the following pairs of d - orbitals will have the electron density along the axis?
Options
- Ad z 2 ,   d xz
- Bd xz ,   d yz
- Cd z 2 ,   d x 2 - y 2
- Dd xy ,   d x 2 - y 2
Correct answer
C. d z 2 ,   d x 2 - y 2
Step-by-step solution
Those orbitals which have electron densities towards the particular axis are known as axial orbitals. Here, d z 2   &   d x 2 - y 2 are given. They have electron densities towards the particular axis.
