Worked practice questions

Which of the following orbital shapes is dumbbell-shaped along an axis?

  1. d orbital (in general)
  2. f orbital
  3. p orbital
  4. s orbital
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. p orbital

p orbitals ($p_x, p_y, p_z$) are dumbbell-shaped along their axis with a node at the nucleus. s is spherical; d (except $d_{z^2}$) is four-lobed cloverleaf.

How many *angular* nodes does a $3d$ orbital have?

  1. $1$
  2. $2$
  3. $0$
  4. $3$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $2$

Angular nodes = $l$. For d ($l=2$): 2 angular nodes. Total nodes = $n - 1 = 2$; radial nodes = $n - l - 1 = 0$. A 3d orbital has 2 angular nodes and no radial nodes.

The number of *radial* nodes in a $4s$ orbital is

  1. $4$
  2. $1$
  3. $0$
  4. $3$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $3$

Radial nodes $= n - l - 1$. **For 4s:** $4 - 0 - 1 = 3$.
