Passage / Comprehension

The plane and point at which zero electron density exists is known as nodal plane and nodal point respectively.

Nodal plane also refers as angular node. Number of angular nodes depends on shape of orbital only and size of orbital has no role in it.

Based on the comprehension answer the following questions-

Which of the following pair of orbitals contains at least one common nodal plane:-

Answer:

Solution:

A nodal plane for $d_{x z}$ is $y = 0$ . A nodal plane for $p_{x}$ is $y = 0$ or $z = 0$ . They share $y = 0$ .
