Match the column: — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Nodes for P ($3d$): radial = 0, angular = 2. Nodes for Q ($2p$): radial = 0, angular = 1. Nodes for R ($3p$): radial = 1, angular = 1. Nodes for S ($5d$): radial = 2, angular = 2. (A) Equal radial and angular $\to$ R (1=1), S (2=2). (B) Radial < Angular $\to$ P (0<2), Q (0<1). (C) Zero radial, two angular $\to$ P. Therefore, correct answer is A-R,S; B-P,Q; C-P.
