Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axes?

$d_{z^2} , d_{xz}$

$d_{xz} , d_{yz}$

$d_{z^2} , d_{x^2 - y^2}$

$d_{xy} , d_{x^2 - y^2}$

Answer

$d_{z^2} , d_{x^2 - y^2}$

Explanation

$d _{z^{2}}$ and $d _{ x ^{2}- y ^{2}}$ orbital have electron density along the axes.
