Question

18 What is a radial node? How is the number of radial nodes of a wave function is related to n and L.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps you

Explanation:

For the 3p orbital, the '3' means that 'n' = 3 and 'p' shows that 'ℓ' = 1. 'ℓ' also equals the number of angular nodes which means there is one angular node present. Using the equation for radial nodes, n - ℓ - 1 = 3 - 1 - 1 = 1. Thus there is one radial nodes.
