NEET Chemistry Quantum Numbers MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The number of radial nodes and angular nodes for d-orbital can be represented as

A

(n − 2) radial nodes +1 angular node = (n − 1) total nodes

B

(n − 1) radial nodes +1 angular node = (n − 1) total nodes

C

(n − 3) radial nodes +2 angular nodes = (n − 1) total nodes

D

(n − 3) radial nodes +2 angular nodes = (n − 1) total nodes

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

For d-orbitals, the number of radial nodes is (n-l−1l^{-1}) and angular nodes is l. For d-orbitals, l=2, so angular nodes are 2, and radial nodes are (n−3n^{-3}).
