Question

Which of the following pair of orbitals posses two nodal planes:-
(1)Pxy,dx^2-y^2

(2)dxy,dzx

(3)Pyz,dz^2

(4)dz^2,dx^2-y^2

Anyone please help me.....
The way of getting the answer should be needed​

Answer 1

Answer:

option 4

Explanation:

Basically in regarding orbitals P orbitals there is only one nodal plane for them where the electron cloud is at probably not present.

But in d orbitals for example d xy or dz^2 there are two places where the electron cloud will be present. as d orbitals are 3 dimensional in shape there should be 2 places vertical and horizontal where probability of finding electron is 0
