Options
- A3 s orbital
- B2 p orbital
- C2 s orbital
- D1 s orbital
Correct answer
C. 2 s orbital
Step-by-step solution
This graph shows one radial node Formula of radial node = n - l - 1 ; angular node = l ; total node = n - 1 n = Principal quantum number l = Azimuthal quantum number Radial nodes: for 1 s = n - l - 1 = 1 - 0 - 1 = 0 for 2 s = 2 - 0 - 1 = 1 for 2 p = 2 - 1 - 1 = 0 for 3 s = 3 - 0 - 1 = 2
