The number of radial nodes of 3 ~s and 2 p orbitals respectively are
Options
- A0,2
- B2,0
- C1,2
- D2,1
Correct answer
B. 2,0
Step-by-step solution
Number of spherical/radial nodes in any orbital =n-I-1 For s= orbitals, I=0 . Number of radial nodes in 3s-orbital =3-0-1=2 For p - orbitals, I=1 Number of radial nodes in 2 p -orbitals =2-1-1=0
