MCQ
Which of the following pair of orbitals, the probability of finding the electron is zero in $XY$ plane?
  • A
    $3{d_{yz}},4{d_{{x^2} - {y^2}}}$
  • B
    $2{p_z},3{d_{{z^2}}}$
  • $4{p_{zx}},3{p_z}$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4{p_{zx}},3{p_z}$
c
The option (C) is the correct answer.
In the pair $4 d_{z x}, 3 p_{z},$ the probability of finding the electron in $\mathrm{xy}$ -plane is zero for both orbitals.
