d z2 and d x 2- y 2 orbital have electron density along the axes.

Q. Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axes?

$d_{z^{2}}, d_{x z}$

$d_{x z}, d_{yz}$

$d_{z^{2}}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$

$d_{x y}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$

$d_{z^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$ orbital have electron density along the axes.

Q. Which of the following pairs of d-orbitals will have electron density along the axes?

dz2​,dxz​

dxz​,dyz​

dz2​,dx2−y2​

dxy​,dx2−y2​

dz2​ and dx2−y2​ orbital have electron density along the axes.

$d_{z^{2}}, d_{x z}$

$d_{x z}, d_{yz}$

$d_{z^{2}}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$

$d_{x y}, d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$

$d_{z^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$ orbital have electron density along the axes.
