Which of the following orbital has maximum Number of angular nodes ?

$\underline{\boxed{\tt{\huge{\red{AnSwEr}}}}}$

★The angular momentum quantum number is 2, so each orbital has two angular nodes. There are 5 choices for the magnetic quantum number, which gives rise to 5 different d orbitals. Each orbital can hold two electrons (with opposite spins), giving the d orbitals a total capacity of 10 electrons.❤

Answer 2

Answer:

Number of radial nodes =n−l−1,  where l= azimuthal quantum number and n= orbit number

For s subshell value of l is 0

and for p subshell value of l is 1  

and for d subshell value of l is 2.

Thus the value of l is minimum for s shell so the value of the number of nodes is maximum for s subshell.
