A 3p-orbital has :

A

two non spherical nodes

B

two spherical nodes

C

one spherical and one non-spherical node

D

one spherical and two non-spherical nodes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Total number of nodes `=(n-1)," "` For 3p orbital, total nodes `=3-1=2`
Number of radial nodes `=n-l-1 ," "` For 3p orbital, radial nodes `=3-1-1=1`
Number of angular nodes = l , `" "` For 3p orbital number of angular nodes `=1`
[For 3p orbital, `n = 3, l = 1`].
