The orbital having two radial as well as two angular nodes is:
- (A)4 d
- (B)5 d✓ Correct
- (C)4 f
- (D)
Answer: (B)
Solution
For an orbital with principal quantum number and azimuthal quantum number , the number of angular nodes is and the number of radial nodes is .
Two angular nodes fix , so the orbital is of the type.
Two radial nodes then require
The orbital having two radial and two angular nodes is .
Two angular nodes fix , so the orbital is of the type.
Two radial nodes then require
The orbital having two radial and two angular nodes is .
