The graph between and r (radial distance) is shown below. This represents : 

Multiple Choice Options
- A 3s orbital
- B 2s orbital
- C 2p orbital
- D 1s orbital
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
In this vs r graph, value of r is zero at only one point. So this orbital must have one radial node.
Here at r = 0, so orbital should be s orbital. Then = 0.
We know,
No of radial node = n - - 1
n - - 1 = 1
n - 0 - 1 = 1
n = 2
Therefore orbital is 2s.
Here at r = 0, so orbital should be s orbital. Then = 0.
We know,
No of radial node = n - - 1
n - - 1 = 1
n - 0 - 1 = 1
n = 2
Therefore orbital is 2s.
