ChemistryNEET 2022Quantum numbers, orbitals and their shapes

Structure of Atom

Identify the incorrect statement from the following:

A.The shapes of $d_{x y}$ , $d_{y z}$ and $d_{z x}$ orbitals are similar to each other; and $d_{x^{2} - y^{2}}$ and $d_{z^{2}}$ are similar to each other✓
B.All the five 5d orbitals are different in size when compared to the respective 4d orbitals
C.All the five 4d orbitals have shapes similar to the respective 3d orbitals
D.In an atom, all the five 3d orbitals are equal in energy in the free state

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
