Among the orbitals 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4p, 4d and 5f, the total number of orbitals (counting every degenerate orbital of a subshell separately) that have exactly one radial node is
Answer:
16
Solution:
Radial nodes = .
2s: 1 node (1 orbital). 2p: 0. 3s: 2. 3p: 1 node (3 orbitals). 3d: 0. 4p: 2. 4d: 1 node (5 orbitals). 5f: 1 node (7 orbitals).
Total = .
Trap: counting subshells (4) instead of orbitals.
Answer: 16.
