Question

Identify the orbital in which number of radial nodes = number of angular nodes.
(A) 2s
(B) 5s
(C) 2p
(D) 5d
pls fast it's my test​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

D

2, 1

Explanation:

For 4d orbital, n=4 and l=2.

Number of radial nodes =n−l−1=4−2−1=1

Number of angular nodes =l=2.

The number of angular and radial nodes of 4d orbital are 2 and 1 respectively.
