Question

what is nodal plane?how many nodal planes are possible for 3d-orbitals?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A nodal surface is also called a radial node, which is a hollow spherical region in which electrons cannot be. A nodal plane is also called an angular node, which is either a plane where electrons cannot be, or a conic surface ( dz2 orbital).2

of nodal planes in 3d-orbitals are 2.

Answer 2

How many nodal planes are possible for 3d-orbitals? - 8 nodal planes.

Explanation:

• A nodal plane is a plane in which the possibility of detecting the electron is zero(0).

• The value of the angular momentum quantum number and the number of nodal planes are always equal.

• In the 3d orbital, the possibility of nodal planes are 8, 2 from each = 3dxy, 3dyz, 3dzx, 3dx2−y2.

• The 3dz² orbital has two conical planes but no nodal plane.
