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

Options

A. `d_(z^2), d_(xy)`
B. `d_(xy), d_(yz)`
C. `d_(z^2), d_(x^2 -y^2)`
D. `d_(zy), d_(x^2 - y^2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

`d_(x^2y^2) and d_(x^2)` orbitals have electrons density along the axes, `d_(xy), d_(yz) and d_(zx)` orbitals have electron density between the axes.
