ns orbital hasradial nodes....

`ns` orbital has________radial nodes.

A

`n`

B

`n -3`

C

`n - 2`

D

`n - 1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For any atomic orbital, the number of radial or spherical nodes is always equal to `n -l -1`. Since `l = 0`, for an `s` orbital, `ns `orbital has `n - 1` radial nodes.
