Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axes :
Correct Answer :option C: dz², dx²-y²
Explanation :
⇒d - orbital has double-bell shape.
⇒There are five orbitals :
They are : 1. dxy 2. dyz 3. dzx 4.dz² 5.dx²-y²
⇒Each d-orbital has 4 lobes . In dxy orbital the lobes are placed in between x and y axes . similarly in dzx and dyz.
In dz² orbital, two lobes lie on z axis and there is a ring of electron -cloud around the centre.
In dx²-y² orbital, the lobes lie on x and y axes.
Each d orbital has two nodal planes.
