and 
are similar to each other

In an atom, the shapes of 3d orbital are same as respective 4d and 5d orbitals, only the size of the orbital changes, when the respective shell number increases. All the d orbitals are degenerate [equal in energy) in free state.
The shape of 
is different than shape of 
.
The size of orbital depends on principal quantum number 'n', hence all the five 3d orbitals are different in size when compared to the respective 4d orbitals.
Shape of orbitals depends on azimuthal quantum number ‘l’, hence shapes of 4d orbitals are similar to the respective 3d orbitals.
