The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements provided in the question are correct, we will analyze each statement based on our understanding of atomic orbitals, radial functions, and angular functions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Radial and Angular Functions**: - The wave function of an atomic orbital can be expressed as a product of a radial function and an angular function. - The radial function depends on the distance from the nucleus (denoted as \( r \)). - The angular function depends on the direction in space. **Hint**: Remember that the wave function is a combination of both radial and angular components. 2. **Radial Function and Orbital Shape**: - The radial function gives the shape of the orbital. This means that the radial part of the wave function is responsible for the distribution of electron density around the nucleus. **Hint**: Focus on how the shape of orbitals is influenced by the radial function. 3. **Dependence on Quantum Numbers**: - The radial wave function depends on the principal quantum number \( n \) and the azimuthal quantum number \( l \). - As \( n \) increases, the average distance of the electron from the nucleus increases. - The value of \( l \) indicates the type of orbital (s, p, d, etc.) and affects the shape of the orbital. **Hint**: Recall the significance of \( n \) and \( l \) in determining the properties of orbitals. 4. **Nodes in Orbitals**: - The number of spherical nodes in an orbital can be calculated using the formula: Number of nodes = \( n - l - 1 \). - For a 3p orbital: - \( n = 3 \) and \( l = 1 \) (since p corresponds to \( l = 1 \)). - Number of nodes = \( 3 - 1 - 1 = 1 \) spherical node. - For a 3d orbital: - \( n = 3 \) and \( l = 2 \) (since d corresponds to \( l = 2 \)). - Number of nodes = \( 3 - 2 - 1 = 0 \) spherical nodes. **Hint**: Use the formula for nodes to verify the number of nodes in different orbitals. 5. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: Radial function gives the shape of the orbital. (Correct) - **Statement 2**: Wave function is a product of radial function and angular function. (Correct) - **Statement 3**: 3p orbital has 2 spherical nodes. (Incorrect; it has 1 spherical node) - **Statement 4**: 3d orbital has 0 spherical nodes. (Correct) **Hint**: Carefully check each statement against your calculations and understanding of orbital theory. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - The correct statements are **Statement 1**, **Statement 2**, and **Statement 4**. - The incorrect statement is **Statement 3**. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are: - Statement 1: Radial function gives the shape of the orbital. - Statement 2: Wave function is a product of radial function and angular function. - Statement 4: 3d orbital has 0 spherical nodes.
