Question

what is the angle between lobes of dxy and dx^2-y^2 ​

Answer 1

Answer: The angle between lobes of dxy and dx2y2 is 45 °

Explanation:

However, each of the 5 orbitals has different spacial orientations. These spacial orientations are determined by the Magnetic Quantum Number.

In the dx2-y2 orbital, all four lobes lie on the coordinate axes.

In the dz2 orbital, there are 2 lobes that lie on the z-axis (i.e. one lobe on the +ve z-axis and the other on the -ve z-axis. Other than these 2 lobes, there is also a ring-shaped region around the lobe.)

The only difference is that its(dxy) lobe is at a 45 ° angle to the lobe of the dx2y2 orbit.
