Which orbital among the following has zero radial nodes and 2 angular nodes?

  1. A \(4 \mathrm{~s}\)
  2. B \(3 d\)
  3. C \(2 p\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~s}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3 d\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Two angular nodes are found in \(d\)-orbital. Number of radial nodes \(=(n-l-1)\) So, for \(3 d\). \[ n=3, l=2 \] \(\because\) Number of angular nodes \(=l=2\) \[ \begin{aligned} \text { Number of radial nodes } & =n-l-1 \\ & =3-2-1=0 \end{aligned} \] So, \(3 d\)-orbital has…
