Question

The probability of finding electron in the xy plane Pz-orbital is 100%,50%,99.9%,0%

Answer 1

Answer:

0 percent

Explanation:in Pz orbital we find electron only in z-axis not in xy plane.

hope it helps

Answer 2

The probability of finding an electron in the XY plane for a Pz-orbital is 0%.

• The p-orbital has two lobes on opposite sides of the nucleus.
• The p$_{z}$ orbital have the electron density in the z-axis only.
• Because the lobes of the p-orbital are axial and lie on the z-axis.
• The XY plane is vacant and void from electrons.
• Hence, the probability of finding an electron in the XY plane is nil.
• So, the correct answer is option (D).
