Vedclass · Answer

(D) The $p_x$ orbital is a dumbbell-shaped orbital oriented along the $x$-axis. At the nucleus,there is a nodal plane,so the probability of finding an electron is zero. The electron density is maximum on the two opposite sides of the nucleus along the $x$-axis. Since the $p_x$ orbital lies entirely in the $xy$-plane,the probability of finding an electron on the $z$-axis is zero. Therefore,all the given statements are correct.

The probability of finding an electron in the $p_x$ orbital is
