Question: The number of radial nodes of 3*s* and 2*p* orbitals are respectively....
The number of radial nodes of 3s and 2p orbitals are respectively.
A
2, 0
B
0, 2
C
1, 2
D
2, 1
Answer
2, 0
Explanation
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)
