MCQ
Quantum No. $l = 2$ and $m = 0$ represent which orbital :
  • A
    $d_{xy}$
  • B
    $d_x^2 - y^2$
  • $d_z^2$
  • D
    $d_{zx}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$d_z^2$
c
Quantum numbers $1=2$ and $m =0$ represent $d _{z^2}$ orbital.

Note: For $s,p,d$ and $f$ orbitals, the value of the azmithual quantum number $'l'$ is $0,1,2,3$

When $l=2$, $m$ can have values $-2,-1,0,+1,+2$.

A $d$-subshell can have five different orientations and orbitals corresponding to these orientations are $d _{ xy }, d _{ xz }, d _{ yz }, d _{ x ^2- y ^2} d _{ z ^2}$
