The number of nodal planes '5d' orbital is:

Azero
Bone
Ctwo
Correct Answer
Dthree

Solution

a plane passing through the nucleus on which the probability of finding electron is zero, is called a nodal plane. The number of nodal planes in an orbital is equal to azimuthal quantum number$$(l)$$. For d orbitals azimuthal quantum number is 2. Therefore, d orbital has two nodal planes.
