How is orbital Dz*2 different

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I hope it helps in understanding the concept better.

What makes dz2 orbital so special? Although degenerate with other d orbitals, It has no nodal planes, instead it has 2 nodal "cones". Instead of having 4 lobes, it has 2 lobes and 1 ring. Also, its electron density is prominently distributed in all x,y and z directions unlike others.

Thank me if I helped

Answer 2
