the number of spherical nodes in 4s - orbital is

Answer 1

Here is ur answer!!

There are 3 or more than 3 spherical nodes in 4s-orbital.

#hope it helps!! ☺☺☺

Answer 2

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Radial nodes or spherical nodes which are areas of zero probability of finding an electron.

The formula for calculating spherical node is: n-l-1

Principle Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

For 4s,  n=4 and l=0 , thus n-l-1= 4-0-1= 3.
