(D) P​

Answer 1

Answer:

dx2−y2dx2-y2

dz2dz2

dxydxy

PxPx

Answer : 

C

Solution : 

( c) The lobes of dxydxy orbital are at an angle of 45∘45∘ with XX and YY axis. So along the lobes, angular probability distribution is maximum.

For which orbital angular probability distribution is maximum at an angle of 45∘ to the axial direction ? Solution : ( c) The lobes of dxy orbital are at an angle of 45∘ with X and Y axis. So along the lobes, angular probability distribution is maximum.

Answer 2

Concept introduction:

The likelihood of finding an electron near a certain point on an atom or molecule is represented by its electron density. In general, areas with a high electron density are where the electron is most likely to be discovered.

Explanation:

Given that, some electron orbital.

We have to find, maximum electron density at $45$° axial direction.

According to the question,

dxy is between the xy plane at an angle of $45$° axial direction so as we move towards that direction we will get maximum electron density so the answer is orbital dxy.

Final Answer:

dxy have maximum distribution at an angle of $45$° to the axial direction.
