Which from following d-orbitals has different shape as compared with others?

Options

  1. Ad x y
  2. Bd y z
  3. Cd x z
  4. Ddz ^2

Correct answer

D. dz ^2

Step-by-step solution

The five d -orbitals are designated as d_ xy , d_ yz , d_ xz , d_ x^2-y^2 , and d_ z^2 . Orbitals d_ xy , d_ yz , and d_ xz all exhibit the characteristic cloverleaf shape, with lobes oriented between their respective axes. Orbital d_ z^2 possesses a distinct geometry, featuring two primary lobes aligned along the z -axis and a toroidal region in the xy -plane. Consequently, d_ z^2 is structurally dissimilar to the other three orbitals. The orbital with a different shape is D .
