AIIMS 2013 Chemistry Quantum Numbers Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Assertion: Number of radial and angular nodes for 3p-orbital are 1, respectively. Reason: Number of radial and angular nodes depends only on principal quantum number.

A

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

C

Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

For 3p-orbital, number of radial nodes = n - l - 1 = 3 - 1 - 1 = 1.
