alleryWhich of the following orbital shapes is dumbbell-shaped along an axis?
Ad orbital (in general)
Bf orbital
Cp orbital
Ds orbital
Answer & 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.
