Analyzing +4 | -1
n,  ln,\,\,l and mm values of orbitals A and B are given below.
nlmA320B310\begin{array}{cccccccccccccccccccc} {}&n&l&m \\ {\text{A}}&3&2&0 \\ {\text{B}}&3&1&0 \end{array}
Which statement about A and B orbitals is incorrect?

a. A has more energy than B

b. A possess electron density along axial direction only

c. B has one angular node and one radial node

d. Probability of finding electron density in B is zero along XZ-plane.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
b & d
The correct answer is D (b & d) because a 3d orbital does not necessarily have electron density only along the axial direction, and the probability of finding electron density in a 3p orbital is not zero along the XZ-plane (it's zero along the XY plane for 3pz).
