STANDARD Chemistry Orbital Shapes MCQ Question
Observe the given boundary surface diagrams of two orbitals I and II and choose the correct option.
I - dₓ₋ᵧ², II - dₓᵧ
I - dᵧ₋₂, II - dₓ₋ᵧ²
I - dₓᵧ, II - dᵤ
I - dᵥ, II - dₓ
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In boundary surface diagram (1) the four lobes lie between y and z-axis (dᵧ₋₂) whereas, in boundary surface diagram (2) the four lobes lie on the x and y-axis (dₓ₋ᵧ²).
