Question

How many nodal planes does a 5s and 3dz2 electron charge cloud have?

Answer 1

2 nodla plane have a 5s and 3dz2 electron .

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
Nodal planes for 5s orbital => 0
Nodal planes for 3dz^2 orbital => 2

● Explaination -
Number of nodal planes for an orbital is given by its Azimuthal quantum number.
Nodal planes = l

For 5s orbital, l = 0,
Nodal planes = 0

For 3dz^2 orbital, l = 2,
Nodal planes = 2


Thanks for asking...
