Question

In how many $\text{'}\mathrm{d}\text{'}$- orbitals do the lobes lie in between co-ordinate axes? what are those?

Answer 1

1. A mathematical function that describes the character of an electron is called an orbital.
2. There are four orbitals namely $\text{'}\mathrm{s}\text{'},\text{'}\mathrm{p}\text{'},\text{'}\mathrm{d}\text{'}$ and $\text{'}\mathrm{f}\text{'}$ orbitals.
3. There exist five possible orbitals for $\text{'}\mathrm{d}\text{'}$ orbital and they are designated as ${\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{xy}},{\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{yz}},{\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{xz}},{\mathrm{d}}_{{\mathrm{x}}^2-{\mathrm{y}}^2},$ and ${\mathrm{d}}_{{\mathrm{z}}^2}$.
4. It is for three $\text{'}\mathrm{d}\text{'}$ orbitals the lobes lie in between co-ordinate axes and they are ${\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{xy}},{\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{yz}}$ and ${\mathrm{d}}_{\mathrm{xz}}$ orbitals.
