Question

The angular distribution function of every orbital has:

• A. $l$ nodal surfaces
• B. $l-1$ nodal surfaces
• C. $n+l$ nodal surfaces
• D. $(n-l-1)$ nodal surfaces

Answer 1

The correct option is A $l$ nodal surfaces

The angular nodes is a plane that passes through the nucleus. The angular distribution function of every orbital has ${}^{\prime }{l}^{\prime }$ nodal surfaces where $l$ is the Azimuthal quantum number.
