Question

In case of dx2 - y2 orbital

Options

A.Probability of finding the electron along x-axis is zero.
B.Probability of finding the electron along y-axis is zero.
C.Probability of finding the electron is maximum along x and y-axis.
D.Probability of finding the electron is zero in x-y plane

Solution

The lobes ofdx2-y2 orbital are alligned along X and Y axis. Therefore the probability of finding the electron is maximum along x and y-axis.
