Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axes :
Correct Answer :option C: dz
², 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 dz
² 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.
