Which of the following statements are true? (A) The subsidiary quantum number l describes the shape of the orbital occupied by the electron. (B) is the boundary surface diagram of the 2 p_x orbital. (C) The + and - signs in the wave function of the 2 p _ x orbital refer to charge. (D) The wave function of 2 p_x orbital is zero everywhere in the xy plane.
Options
- A(B) and (D) only
- B(A), (B) and (C) only
- C(C) and (D) only
- D(A) and (B) only
Correct answer
D. (A) and (B) only
Step-by-step solution
(A) Azimuthal quantum number ( ) indicates the shape of orbital occupied by the electron (B) p _ x orbital (C) The + and - sign in the wave function of 2 p_x orbital refer to the sign (Phase) of the wave function, not the charge (D) The wave function of 2 p_x orbital will be zero in yz plane (Nodal plane).
