Number of angular nodes for 4d orbital is __________.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Angular nodes are the planes passing through the nucleus (origin).

For example: In case of a P_zorbital, the XY-plane is a nodal plane, in case of d_ay orbital, there are two nodal planes passing through the origin (nucleus) and bisecting the XY- plane containing z-axis.

And these angular nodes are determined by the Azimuthal quantum number ‘l’.

o For 4d orbital n=4 and l = 2

Hence 5the number of angular nodes also = l=2.
