Question

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

• A. $3d_{yz},4d_{x^2-y^2}$
• B. $2p_z,d{z}^2$
• C. $4d_{zx},3p_z$
• D. $Allofthese$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4d_{zx},3p_z$

The correct answer is option(C).

In the pair 4dzx ,3pz4dzx ,3pz the probability of finding the electron in xy-plane is zero(0) for both orbitals.

Hence, option(C) is correct.
