(A) 3d(z^(2)) orbital is spherically sym...

(A) `3d_(z^(2))` orbital is spherically symmetrical.
(R) `3d_(z^(2))` orbital is the only d-orbital which is spherical in shape.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A filled or half-filled d-orbital is spherically symmetrical. So assertion is wrong.
d-orbitals are double dumb-bell in shape. So reason is wrong. (Though `d_(z^(2))` is not double dumb-bell).
