A certain orbital has no angular nodes and two radial nodes. The orbital is :
- A2s
- B3s
- C3p
- D2p
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Use the node formulas for atomic orbitals
For an orbital with quantum numbers and :
- Angular nodes
- Radial nodes
- Given condition: no angular nodes
No angular nodes means:
So the orbital must be an -orbital.
- Given condition: two radial nodes
Using
Since for an -orbital:
So the orbital is:
- Check options
-
A:
Radial nodes ❌ -
B:
Radial nodes and angular nodes ✅ -
C:
Angular nodes ❌ -
D:
Angular nodes ❌
- Final answer
The required orbital is .
