Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statement II is correct as the radial wave function depends strictly on the principal ($n$) and azimuthal ($l$) quantum numbers, whereas the angular function depends on $l$ and $m$. Statement I is incorrect because $3p_x$ and $3p_y$ both share the same $n=3$ and $l=1$ quantum numbers, meaning their radial wave functions are identical. They only differ in their angular functions (due to different magnetic quantum numbers). Therefore, correct answer is D.
