Question

Which orbital is represented by wave function ${\Psi }_{310}$?

• A. $3d_{xy}$
• B. $3p_z$
• C. $4s$
• D. $4d_{z^2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3p_z$

$3p_z$ orbital is represented by the wave function

${\Psi }_{310}$.

${\Psi }_{310}={\Psi }_{nlm}$

$n=3,l=1,m=0$

These quantum numbers imply $3p_z$ orbital.
