1.	(i) What is common between d_9xy) and d_(x^(2) - y^(2)) orbitals ? (ii) What is the difference between them ? (iii) What is the angle between the lobes of the above two orbitals ?
Answer» Solution :(i) Both have IDENTICAL shape, consisting of four lobes. (II) Lobes of `d_(x^(2) - y^(2))` lie ALONG the x and y-axes while those of `d_(xy)` lie between x and y-axes (iii) `45^(@)`
