$3 p_{x}$ and $4 p_{x}$ orbital of an atom does NOT have same :-

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The $3 p_{x}$ and $4 p_{x}$ orbitals have the same shape and orientation (along the x-axis) and the same number of nodal planes (one angular nodal plane). However, their principal quantum numbers ( $n = 3$ and $n = 4$ ) are different, meaning they have different sizes and energies. Therefore, they do NOT have the same size.
