How many spherical nodes and planar (angular) nodes does a 2s
orbital have?
0, 1 | |
0, 0 | |
2, 1 | |
1, 0 | |
2, 0 |
Answer is 1,0
For 2s Orbital,
n=2 , l=0
1) Spherical nodes of 2s orbital is given by formula: n-l-1
n=2 l=0 for 2s Orbital
= 2-0-1
= 1
Spherical nodes for 2s orbital is 1
2) Calculation of angular nodes for 2s orbital:
Angular nodes for 2s orbital=l
FOR 2S orbital l=0
there fore angular nodes for 2s orbital is 0
