Which orbital among the following has zero radial nodes and 2 angular nodes?
Options
- A4 ~s
- B3 d
- C2 p
- D5 ~s
Correct answer
B. 3 d
Step-by-step solution
Two angular nodes are found in d -orbital. Number of radial nodes =(n-l-1) So, for 3 d . n=3, l=2 Number of angular nodes =l=2 aligned Number of radial nodes & =n-l-1 & =3-2-1=0 aligned So, 3 d -orbital has zero radial node and 2 angular nodes.
