Answer:
NODAL POINTS AND PLANES.
The point where there is zero probability of finding the electron is called nodal point. There are two types of nodes: Radial nodes and angular nodes. The former is concerned with distance from the nucleus while latter is concerned with direction.
******
No. of radial nodes = n – l – 1
No. of angular nodes = l
Total number of nodes = n – 1
*******
Nodal planes are the planes of zero probability of finding the electron. The number of such planes is also equal to l.
n= 3 = principle quantum number
l= 2 = Azimuthal quantum number
Go through definitions…………
No. of radial nodes = 3-2-1 = 0
No. of angular nodes = 2
Total number of nodes = 3-1 = 2
