Question

The d orbital that has probability density along all the three axes is:

• A.
  $d_{xy}$
• B.
  $d_{zx}$
• C.
  $d_{yz}$
• D. $d_{z^2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $d_{z^2}$

$d_{z^2}$ orbital has a doughnut rolled around the middle of the dumbbell. Hence, it has probability density along all the three axes.
