Number of angular nodes in 3d orbital = ?
Number of radial nodes in 3d orbital = ?
Number of angular nodes = l
Number of radial nodes = n – l – 1
1. For 3d orbital:
Number of angular nodes = 2 because l = 2
Number of radial nodes = 3 – 2 -1 = 0
Total number of nodes in 3d orbital = 2
2. For 4f orbital:
Number of angular nodes = 3 because l = 3
Number of radial nodes = n – l – l = 4 – 3 – 1 = 0
Total number of nodes in 4f orbital = 3.
