How are d^(xy) and d(x^(2)-y^(2)) orbita...

How are `d^(xy)` and `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` orbitals related to each other ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Both `d_(xy)` and `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` orbitals are degenerate orbitals (have same energy). However, `d_(xy)` orbital lies in the xy plane while `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` orbital is along x and y axes.
