Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axes ?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

The d-orbitals $d_{z^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$ have their lobes oriented along the axes (z-axis and x,y-axes respectively). The other d-orbitals ( $d_{x y}$ , $d_{x z}$ , $d_{yz}$ ) have their lobes oriented between the axes. Therefore, option A is correct.
