Which of the following MOs has more than...

Which of the following `MOs` has more than one nodal plane?

A

`pi_(2p_y)`

B

`sigma_(2s)`

C

`sigma_(2p_x)^**`

D

`pi_(2p_y)^**`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We assume that the z-axis is the internuclear axis. `sigma_(2s)` has no nodal plane. `sigma_(2p_x)^**` and `pi_(2p_y)` both have one nodal plane. `pi^**2p_y` has two nodal planes: one along the internuclear axis while the other perpendicular to the internuclear axis.
