A certain orbital has n = 4 And

Question:

A certain orbital has $\mathrm{n}=4$ and $\mathrm{m}_{\mathrm{L}}=-3$. The number of radial nodes in this orbital is___________  (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Solution:

(0)

$\mathrm{n}=4$ and $\mathrm{m}_{\ell}=-3$

Hence, $\ell$ value must be 3 . Now, number of radial nodes $=\mathrm{n}-\ell-1$

$=4-3-1=0$
