1.	Statement-1. 2p orbitals do not have any spherical node. Statement.2 The number of nodes in p-orbitals is given by (n -2) where n is the principal quantum number
Answer» STATEMENT-1 is TRUE, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1 Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1 Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is FALSE Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True Solution :Statement -2 is the correct explanation of statement -1. This is because number SPHERICAL nodes in any orbital `= (n -l -1)`. For 2p-orbital, `n = 2, l = 1`
