JEE Main 2026 — 6 April, Morning Shift — Question 48

Match the List-I with List-II :

List-I OrbitalList-II Radial nodes and nodal plane
A. 2sI. 1 Radial node + two nodal planes
B. 3sII. 1 Radial node + one nodal plane
C. 3pIII. 2 Radial nodes + No nodal plane
D. 4dIV. 1 Radial node + No nodal plane.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. Option A:

    A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

    Correct
  2. Option B:

    A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I

  3. Option C:

    A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

  4. Option D:

    A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

Answer: A

Step-by-step solution

No. of Radial nodes =n−ℓ−1=\mathrm{n}-\ell-1 No. of Angular nodes or nodal planes =ℓ=\ell 2 s⇒n=2,ℓ=02 \mathrm{~s} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=2, \ell=0 1 radial node + zero nodal plane 3 s⇒n=3,ℓ=03 \mathrm{~s} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=3, \ell=0 2 radial node + zero nodal plane 3p⇒n=3,ℓ=13 \mathrm{p} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=3, \ell=1 1 radial node +1 nodal plane 4 d⇒n=4,ℓ=24 \mathrm{~d} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=4, \ell=2 1 radial node +2 nodal plane
