Q. The five d-orbitals are designated as $d_{xy},d_{yz},d_{xz},$ $d_{x^2-y^2} \, and \, d_{z^2}$Choose the correct statement.

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

First four orbitals contain four lobes, while fifth orbital consists of only tow lobes. The lobes of d$_{xy}$ orbital lie between x and y axes. Si.nil .. r is the case for $d_{yz} \, and \, d_{zx}$Four lobes of $d_{x^1-y^2}$ orbital are lying along x and y axes while two lobes of d$_{z^2}$orbital arc lying along z-axis
