Atomic Structure Question 451
Question: The number of radial nodes of 3s and 2p orbitals are respectively.
Options:
A) 2, 0
B) 0, 2
C) 1, 2
D) 2, 1
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Number of radial nodes = (n - l - 1) For 3s: n = 3, l = 0 (Number of radial node = 2) For 2p: n =2, l = 1 (Number of radial node = 0)
