Given below are two statements .
Statement I For 
-orbitals, the nodal surface at a distance of 
from the nucleus.
Statement II Electron density in the 
-plane of 
orbital is 0.50.
choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Statement I is true but Statement II is false. Its corrected form is:
• Electron density in the 
-plane of 
orbital is zero.
• The 
-orbital whose lobes lie along the 
and 
-axis in 
. Nodal plane lie in 
-plane of 
.
• Electron density is zero in nodal region.
