Total number of angular nodes of orbitals associated with third shell (n=3) of an atom is
Options
- A3
- B4
- C2
- D1
Correct answer
A. 3
Step-by-step solution
Total number of angular nodes =l , for a given orbital. For n=3 , there will be three subshells having 3 ~s , 3 p and 3 ~d orbitals. For 3 ~s , l=0 , so zero angular nodes. For 3 p , l=1 , so one angular nodes. For 3 ~d , l=2 , so two angular nodes. Total angular nodes =0+1+2=3
