Single correct option
Match each orbital in List-I with the correct description of its nodes in List-II.
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| P. 3p | 1. Total nodes 2, of which 1 is radial |
| Q. 4d | 2. Total nodes 3, of which 1 is radial |
| R. 4f | 3. Total nodes 3, none radial |
| S. 5s | 4. Total nodes 4, all radial |
| | 5. Total nodes 3, of which 2 are radial |
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| P. 3p | 1. Total nodes 2, of which 1 is radial |
| Q. 4d | 2. Total nodes 3, of which 1 is radial |
| R. 4f | 3. Total nodes 3, none radial |
| S. 5s | 4. Total nodes 4, all radial |
| | 5. Total nodes 3, of which 2 are radial |
- A. P→1, Q→2, R→3, S→4
- B. P→1, Q→5, R→3, S→4
- C. P→2, Q→1, R→3, S→4
- D. P→1, Q→2, R→5, S→4
Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) P→1, Q→2, R→3, S→4
The number of radial nodes is and the number of angular nodes is , so the total number of nodes is . P (3p): : radial , angular , total : entry 1. Q (4d): : radial , angular , total : entry 2. R (4f): : radial , angular , total with none radial: entry 3. S (5s): : radial , angular , total , all radial: entry 4. Entry 5 (total 3, two radial) belongs to 4p (), which is not in List-I. Correct code: P→1, Q→2, R→3, S→4.
