JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2023 - 25th January Evening Shift - No. 18)
The number of given orbitals which have electron density along the axis is _________
$$\mathrm{p_x,p_y,p_z,d_{xy},d_{yz},d_{xz},d_{z^2},d_{x^2-y^2}}$$
Answer
5
Explanation
The orbitals which have electron density along the axis are all the $p$-orbitals $\left(p_x, p_y\right.$ and $\left.p_z\right)$ while, out of five $d$-orbitals only two $\left(d_{x^2-y^2}\right.$ and $\left.d_{z^2}\right)$ have electron density along the axis.
Therefore, the total number of given orbitals which have electron density along the axis is 5.
Therefore, the total number of given orbitals which have electron density along the axis is 5.
