A certain orbital has no angular nodes and two radial nodes. The orbital is:
- (A)3 s✓ Correct
- (B)
- (C)2 s
- (D)2 p
Answer: (A)
Solution
The number of angular nodes equals the azimuthal quantum number , so having none means and the orbital is of s type. The number of radial nodes is , so gives . The orbital is 3s.
