MCQ
Which of the following pair of orbitals possess two nodal planes :-
  • A
    $p_{xy}, d_{x^2 -y^2}$
  • $d_{xy}, d_{zx}$
  • C
    $p_{yz}, d_{z^2}$
  • D
     $d_{z^2},d_{x^2- y^2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$d_{xy}, d_{zx}$
b
$d$-orbitals have two nodal planes since $I =2.d _{ z }^2$ has two nodal cones.
