Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The radial probability distribution curves of 1s, 2p, 3d - orbitals are identical in shape. Probability is the square of wave function.
The number of nodal planes present in these orbitals are different.
The number of nodal planes =l, the azimuthal quantum number. Since the value of l is different for 1s, 2p, 3d-orbitals, the number of nodal planes is different.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
