How Do You Calculate Nodal Planes?
How Do You Calculate Nodal Planes? Angular nodes (or nodal planes) can be found simply by determining l . For a 2p orbital, l=1 , so there is 1 angular node. However, n−l−1=2−1−1=0 , so it has 0 radial nodes. What is the formula for finding the number of nodes? Total number of nodes =
