Correct answer
D(A) and (B) only
Step-by-step explanation
(A) Azimuthal quantum number indicates the shape of orbital occupied by the electron
(B)
orbital
(C) The + and - sign in the wave function of orbital refer to the sign (Phase) of the wave function, not the charge
(D) The wave function of orbital will be zero in yz plane (Nodal plane).
(B)
orbital
(C) The + and - sign in the wave function of orbital refer to the sign (Phase) of the wave function, not the charge
(D) The wave function of orbital will be zero in yz plane (Nodal plane).
