The electron density in the xy- plane in `3d_(x^(2) - y^(2)` orbital is zero

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement "The electron density in the xy-plane in the \(d_{x^2 - y^2}\) orbital is zero" is true or false, we can analyze the characteristics of the \(d_{x^2 - y^2}\) orbital step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Orbital**: The \(d_{x^2 - y^2}\) orbital is one of the five d-orbitals found in the quantum mechanical model of the atom. It is characterized by its specific shape and orientation. 2. **Shape of the \(d_{x^2 - y^2}\) Orbital**: ...
