Question

In which of the following pairs is the probability of finding the electron in $xy$-plane zero for both orbitals?

• A. $3d_{yz},4d_{x^2-y^2}$
• B. $2p_z,d_{z^2}$
• C. $4d_{zx},3p_z$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C $4d_{zx},3p_z$
D None of these

The option (C) is the correct answer.
In the pair $4d_{zx},3p_z$, the probability of finding the electron in xy -plane is zero for both orbitals.
