Question

If the nodes at infinity are not neglected, then what is the total number of of radial and angular nodes of 5-f-orbitals?

Answer 1

Answer:

5f orbital has 1 radial node and 3 angular nodes.

Explanation:

RN= Radial node is calculated using the equation

RN=n-(l+1) where 'n' is the principal quantum number and 'l' is the azimuthal quantum number.

So RN for 5f orbital=5-(3+1) =1

Angular node is equal to azimuthal quantum number 'l'.

So AN for 5f = 3 since l for f orbital is 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 5

Explanation:

if nodes at the infinity are not neglected then total nodes = shell no.
