MCQ Solution: Basic Concepts of Chemistry
Which orbital is represented by the complete wave function Y 420?
1) 4p
2) 3d
3) 3p
4) 4s
Solution
Orbital are represented by the wavefunction $${ \psi }_{ n,l,m }$$
Given wavefunction is $${ \psi }_{ 420 }$$
Thus $$n=4$$
$$l=2$$$$\rightarrow $$d-orbital
So, the orbital is $$4d$$
