Question

For which orbital angular probability distribution is maximum at an angle of 45° to the axial direction-

• A. $d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$
• B. ${d_{2}}^{2}$
• C. dxy
• D. Px

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

dxy

Answer 2

The lobes of dxy orbital are at an angle of 45⁰ with X and Y axis. So along the lobes, angular probability distribution is maximum.
