Question

The orbital having two radial as well as two angular nodes is ______.

Options

• 3p

• 4d

• 5d

• 4f

Answer 1

The orbital having two radial as well as two angular nodes is 5d.

Explanation:

Number of radial nodes = n − l − 1

Number of angular nodes = l

For 5d; n = 5, l = 2

5d orbital has two radial nodes and two angular nodes.
