MCQ
A $3p$ orbital has
  • A
    Two spherical nodes
  • B
    Two non-spherical nodes
  • One spherical and one non-spherical nodes
  • D
    One spherical and two non-spherical nodes

Answer

Correct option: C.
One spherical and one non-spherical nodes
c
One spherical and one non-spherical node Total node $=n-1$

Number of spherical node $=n-1-1$

Number of non-spherical node $=1$

For $3 p$ subshell, $n=3$ and $l=1$

$\therefore$ The number of spherical node $= n -l-1=3-1-1=1$

and the number of non-spherical node $=l=1$.
