Question

Identify the orbital which has lobes not orienting on the axis

• A. \(p_x\)
• B. \(p_y\)
• C. \(d_{x^2-y^2}\)
• D. \(d_{yz}\)

Hint:

Orbitals like \(d_{xy}\), \(d_{yz}\), and \(d_{zx}\) have lobes between the axes, while \(d_{x^2-y^2}\) has lobes along the axes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
