Steps :

1) Electron Density is the probability of finding an electron at a specified location.

2) Here,

In d(x^2 -y^2) ,

Lobes lie along x and y - axis and these are parts of maximum electron density.

3) These lobes which are along x and y are symmetrical to each other .

So, If the probability of finding an electron along x-axis is 'a'.

Then, Probability along y-axis is also 'a'.

4) By YZ plane, we have probability as:

P = P(Y) / P(X) + P(Y)

Hence, Required Electron Density is 0.5 .

Answer 2

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

because the nodal planes are xz and yz
