Q17 / 200 · Manipal (MET) 2014 · Chemistry

An atomic orbital has two angular nodes and one radial node. It is a

  • A
    $2 p$ orbital
  • B
    $3 p$ orbital
  • C
    3d orbital
  • Correct answer
    D
    $4 d$ orbital

Solution

Two angular nodes are found in $d$-orbitals. Also for a $d$-orbital to have one radial node it must be 4d. $[\because$ Number of radial nodes $=n-I-1]$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
