Question

Name the set of d orbitals having the electron density along the axis..​

Answer 1

Answer:

So, dz2,dx2−y2 pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axis. Therefore, option (A) dz2,dx2−y2 is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

From the orbital diagram of d-orbital sit is clear that d

x²−y²

has electron density along x- and y-axis. And d

z ² has electron density along z-axis.

Thus d x²

−y²

and d z²

have electron density along axis.
