Question

Which of the following orbitals have electronic density along the axis?

• A. $d_{xz}$
• B. $d_{yz}$
• C. $d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$
• D. $d_{xy}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$d_{z^2}$ and $d_{x^2-y^2}$

Correct answer option C

$d_{z^2},d_{x^2-y^2}$

Explanation:

In $d_{z^2}$ orbital two lobes line for z axis and there is a ring of electron cloud around the centre.

In $d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital the lobe lie on x and y axis.
