हिन्दीGiven below are two statements:\n Statement I: The number of radial nodes in an orbital is given by the expression \( (n - l - 1) \).\n Statement II: The total number of nodes for any orbital is given by \( (n - 1) \). \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
Radial nodes = \( n - l - 1 \) and angular nodes = \( l \). Summing them gives total nodes = \( (n - l - 1) + l = n - 1 \). Both statements are correct.
