Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Total number of nodes for \( 3 \mathrm{~s} \) orbital is three

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The total number of nodes of an orbital is the sum of angular and radial nodes and is given in terms of the \(\mathrm{n}\) and \(\mathrm{I}\)
quantum number by the following equation. Number of nodes \(=n-l-1\)
for 3 s-orbital, \(\mathrm{n}=3\)
\(\mathrm{I}=0\)
Nodes \(=3-0-1=2\)
Because for s-orbitals, \(\mathrm{l}=0\), therefore, there is no angular nodes only radial nodes are present, that is, 2 radial nodes.
