The maximum probability of finding an electron in the 
-orbital is along
A
-axis B
-axis C
from 
and 
-axis D
from 
and 
-axis
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Diagram of 
-orbital is shown below.
So, in this 
-orbital, maximum probability of finding an electron is at an angle of 
from 
and 
-axis as the lobes of 
-orbital are oriented in between the 
and 
axis of 
..
