The statement that is NOT correct is
Options
- AEnergies of stationary states in hydrogen like atoms is inversely proportional to the square of the principal
- BThe radius of the first orbit of ( He ⁺ )is half that of the first orbit of hydrogen atom.
- CAngular quantum number signifies the shape of the orbital.
- DTotal number of nodes for ( 3 ~s ) orbital is three
Correct answer
D. Total number of nodes for ( 3 ~s ) orbital is three
Step-by-step solution
The total number of nodes of an orbital is the sum of angular and radial nodes and is given in terms of the n and I quantum number by the following equation. Number of nodes =n-l-1 for 3 s-orbital, n =3 I =0 Nodes =3-0-1=2 Because for s-orbitals, l =0 , therefore, there is no angular nodes only radial nodes are present, that is, 2 radial nodes.
