Total number of angular nodes of orbitals associated with third shell \((n=3)\) of an atom is

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total number of angular nodes \(=l\), for a given orbital. For \(n=3\), there will be three subshells having \(3 \mathrm{~s}\), \(3 \mathrm{p}\) and \(3 \mathrm{~d}\) orbitals. For \(3 \mathrm{~s}, l=0\), so zero angular nodes. For \(3 \mathrm{p}, l=1\), so one angular nodes.…
