The plots of radial distribution functions for various orbitals of hydrogen atom against 'r' are given below: The correct plot for 3s orbital is:
Option: 1 B
Option: 2 A
Option: 3 C
Option: 4 D
3s orbital Number of radial nodes = n – l – 1
For 3s orbital n = 3 , l = 0
Number of radial nodes = 3 – 0 – 1 = 2
It is correctly represented in graph of option D
Therefore, Option 4 is correct.
