Q.

The wave function of 3s and 3pz orbitals are given by:

Ψ3s=19314π1/2Za03/266σ+σ2eσ/2

Ψ3pz=19634π1/2Za03/2(4σ)σeσ/2cos θ

σ=2Zrna0

where a0 = 1st Bohr radius, Z = charge number of nucleus, r = distance from conclude:

 From this, we can conclude :

Detailed Solution

Total nodal surface =n1

Total angular nodal surface + radial nodal surface = 2 for both orbital.
There is a finite probability of finding electron in nucleus in case of 3s orbital. Hence, 3s have more penetrating power than 3pz.
At radial node ψ=0; the radial nodes in 3s and 3pz are not at equal distance.
