Question

Number of orbital in zinc having at least one angular node

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two angular nodes for zinc

Explanation:

Since zinc d group element

d obital has azimuthal qunatum number 2

Therefore zinc has 2 angular nodes

Answer 2

Answer:

As zinc has the azimuthal quantum number as 2 and is present in the d block hence the number of orbital in zinc will be 2 having the angular nodes.

The zinc has atomic number 30 and it has a total number of nodes as (5-1) = 4 and the number of angular nodes are 2 which are of xz and zy planes.

Thus, to calculate number of angular nodes we have to  find its azimuthal quantum number and its block.
