हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).\n Assertion (A): The orbital \( d_{z^2} \) has a doughnut-shaped ring along the xy-plane.\n Reason (R): The \( d_{z^2} \) orbital is unique and has its lobes oriented along the z-axis with a ring in the xy-plane. \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
The \( d_{z^2} \) orbital has a distinctive donut-shaped electron cloud ring around the z-axis in the xy-plane.
