Question

total number of nodes in 4px orbital is​

Answer 1

Answer:3

Explanation:

Total nodes= n-1

Where n is principal quantum number

Answer 2

The Total number of nodes in 4px orbital is 3 i.e 1 angular node and 2 radial node

Radial nodes:

• The spherical surface region where there is no chance of locating an electron is known as a radial node.
• It is determined by the primary quantum number as well as the azimuthal quantum number.
• The number of nodes in a specific orbital grows as the principal quantum number grows.
• Formula: Number of Radial nodes  =  n-l-1 = n-(l-1)

Angular node:

• The angular node's value is unaffected by the value of the fundamental quantum number.
• This is determined only by the value of the azimuthal quantum number.
• Formula : Total number of nodes =(n-1)

For 4px orbital:

Number of angular nodes = l

Number of radial nodes can be calculated by

⇒ (n - l -1)

Therefore

Number of radial nodes  = (4 - 1 -1)

⇒(4 - 2)

⇒ 2

Number of radial nodes = 2

Total number of nodes can be calculated by

⇒(n-1)

Total number of nodes = (4 - 1)

⇒ 3

Total number of nodes = 3

Radial nodes is 2

Angular node is 1

Final answer :

Total number of nodes in 4px orbital is 3 i.e 1 angular node and 2 radial node
