The probability of finding an electron anywhere in a spherical radius of r is ca

Question

The probability of finding an electron anywhere in a spherical radius of r is called the radial probability distribution. The shape of the plot depends on the principal quantum number (n) and the azimuthal quantum number (?) for an orbital. As n increases for each value of ?, the number of nodes in the plot increases by one. To understand the radial distribution function for different orbitals, match the orbital that corresponds to the radial distribution function shown in each plot.

Identify the radial distribution functions by dragging the appropriate orbitals to their respective targets.

The options are 2P, 3P,3S,3D

Explanation / Answer

First one is 2p, second is 3p and third one is 3d
