The number of radial nodes of \(3 \mathrm{~s}\) and \(2 p\) orbitals respectively are

  1. A 0,2
  2. B 2,0
  3. C 1,2
  4. D 2,1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2,0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of spherical/radial nodes in any orbital \[ =n-I-1 \] For \(s=\) orbitals, \(I=0\). \(\therefore\) Number of radial nodes in 3s-orbital \[ =3-0-1=2 \] For \(p\) - orbitals, \(I=1\) \(\therefore \quad\) Number of radial nodes in \(2 p\)-orbitals \[ =2-1-1=0 \]
