Detailed Solution

Shape of dx2y2 will differ from dz2  dx2y2 is double dumbbell, but dz2 is not

(1) , as ‘n’ value increases, radius of shell increases
 Size of 5d > 4d
(2) Shape of orbital depends on ‘l’ value. For all d – orbitals, ‘l’ value is same, shape of all d – orbitals is same
(3) d – orbitals are degenerate in free state
