QJEEM24Chb7f9: JEE Main 2024 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM24Chb7f9 Solution: The number of radial node/s for orbital is :

The number of radial node/s for 3p3 p orbital is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 3
  • B 2
  • C 1
  • D 4

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The number of radial nodes in an orbital is given by the formula:

Number of radial nodes=n−l−1

where n is the principal quantum number, l is the azimuthal quantum number also known as the angular momentum quantum number.

For a 3p orbital,

n=3 (since it is the 3rd energy level),

l=1 (since p orbitals correspond to l=1).

Let's use the formula to determine the number of radial nodes:

Number of radial nodes=3−1−1=1

So, the correct answer is: Option C : 1
