Which of the following pairs of d-orbita...

Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will hare electron density along the axes ?

A

`d_(z^(2)), d_(xz)`

B

`d_(xz),d_(yz)`

C

`d_(z^(2)), d_(x^(2)-y^(2))`

D

`d_(xy), d_(x^(2)-^(y^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The lobes of the `e_(g)` orbitals `(d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` and `d_(z^(2)))`point along the axes x, y and z while the lobes of the `t_(2g)` orbitals `(d_(xy)d_(xz)` and `d_(yz))` point in between the axes.
