The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down the reasoning step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statements**: - **Statement I**: The nodal plane of the `p_x` atomic orbital is the yz plane. - **Statement II**: In the `p_x` atomic orbital, the electron density is zero in the yz plane. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - The `p_x` atomic orbital is one of the three p orbitals (the others being `p_y` and `p_z`). - The `p_x` orbital has a specific shape that is oriented along the x-axis. - The nodal plane is defined as a plane where the probability of finding an electron is zero. 3. **Identifying the Nodal Plane**: - For the `p_x` orbital, the nodal plane is indeed the yz plane. This is because the `p_x` orbital has lobes extending along the x-axis, and there is no electron density in the yz plane (where x = 0). 4. **Analyzing Statement II**: - Statement II claims that the electron density in the yz plane is zero for the `p_x` orbital. - Since the nodal plane is defined as the plane where the probability density is zero, this statement is also correct. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are correct. - Furthermore, Statement II correctly explains Statement I because the definition of the nodal plane (where electron density is zero) directly supports the assertion made in Statement I. ### Final Answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct, and Statement II is the correct explanation for Statement I.
