The number of nodal planes present in \(\sigma^{*} \mathrm{~s}\) antibonding orbitals is
- A 1
- B 2
- C 0
- D 3
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 1
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In an antibonding molecular orbital, most of the electron density is located away from the space between the nuclei, as a result of which there is a nodal plane ( a plane at which the electron density is zero) between the nuclei.
