Question

8) Radial wave function for 4p orbital has nodes equal to
O a) 1
O b)2
O C) 3
O d) 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

option d 4 is the answer....

Answer 2

The answer is option C) 2.

Explanation:

Nodes are the intermediate region where the probability of finding the electrons is zero.

The number of spherical/radical nodes in any orbital formula:- $n-l-1$

Here,

• n= Principal quantum number.
• l= Azimuthal quantum number

According to the question, n=4. For p, the value of l is 1. Putting this in the formula,

$4-(1)-(1) \\4-2 \\2$

So, the answer is 2.
