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

Options

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

Answer

A

Explanation

Among d-orbitals `d_(z^(2)) &d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` have their electron densities orientated towards axes.
