The radial probability distribution curve obtined for an orbital wave function `(Phi)` has 3 peaks and 2 radial nodes. The valence electron of which one of the following metals does this wave function `(Phi)` correspond to.

A

`Co`

B

`Li`

C

`K`

D

`Na`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`Na_(11)to1s^(2),2s^(2),2p^(6),underset("valence electron")ubrace(3s^(1))`
Number of radial node `=n-1l-1(n=3)`
`=3-0-1=2`
