Detailed Solution
Radial nodes = n – l – 1⇒ (I) n = 2, l= 1, radial node = 2 – 1 – 1 = 0Angular node = 1 (YZ plane)(II) n = 2, l = 0, Radial node = 2 – 0 – 1 = 1Angular node = 0(III) n = 3, l = 2, Radial node = 3 – 2 – 1 = 0, andAngular node = 2 (XY and YZ planes)(IV) n = 3, l= 2, Radial node = 0, andAngular nodes = 2Total = I + II + III + IV = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 6
