Chapter 7, Problem 42QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The picture and differences between $3d$ and $4d$ orbitals are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The shape of $d$ orbitals are quite complex; their shape looks like a double dumbbell. There are a total of five $d$ orbitals $d_{xy}$ , $d_{yz}$ , $d_{zx}$ , $d_{x^2-y^2}$ , and $d_{z^2}$ .
