Re: nodal planes
Hi,
Nodal planes are planes where the probability of finding an electron is 0. The s-orbital has no nodal plane because it is a sphere where electrons can exist. P-, d-, and f- orbitals all have nodal planes.

Re: nodal planes
In addition to the properties mentioned, I believe nodal planes also exhibit the wave-like nature of electrons.

Re: nodal planes
Hi,
to add to what has already been said above, I think it might help to know that p and d orbitals have nodal planes that cut across the nucleus because there is 0 probability of finding electrons there.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes is the planes that have 0 electron density. s orbitals have no nodal planes, p orbitals have 1 nodal plane, d orbitals have 2 nodal planes. In the calculation of wave function, the probability of finding an electron in nodal planes is also 0.

Re: nodal planes
A nodal plane indicated that there is no electron density, which applies to the p, d, and f orbitals, but not the s orbital, as it has no nodal planes.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes have no electron density, meaning there is no chance of finding an electron within that area at any given time.

Re: nodal planes
How I think of it, nodal planes separate the orbitals in a p,d, etc. orbital. This is because the possibility of finding an electron on the plane is zero, so the orbitals naturally form away from the planes, with planes in between separate orbitals.

Re: nodal planes
A nodal plane is where there is no electron density, so the probability of finding an electron there is zero. The s orbital doesn't have a nodal plane, but the p, d and f orbitals do.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes are where there is no electron density and therefore no chance of finding an electron there.

I remember that was something I didn't know before the exam. Do you know exactly how they contribute to the wave-like nature of electrons?

Re: nodal planes
Hi,
Nodal planes are specific regions in which the possibility of finding an electron is about zero. To determine the location of the coordinates for a nodal plane, the Schrödinger wave equation is used. Nodal planes are significant because they can help determine the shape of orbitals.

Re: nodal planes
Planes that have no change of finding an electron.
s orbitals- have none because they are a sphere.
p orbitals- have 1 nodal plane.
d orbitals- have 2 nodal planes.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes are areas of the atom in which there is zero probability of finding an electron. This can be found using the wave function or looking at the particle in a box model. They are called nodal planes because they correspond to nodes on the wave model of an electron.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes do not have any electron density, hence there is no possibility of detecting an electron there at any given time.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes are regions around the atomic nuclei where the likelihood of finding electrons is zero. The coordinates of these planes are found by solving the Schrödinger wave equation for atoms or molecules to find the shape of atomic and molecular orbitals.

Re: nodal planes
Plus, nodal planes show the wave nature of electrons, which was being examined in our midterm 1.

Re: nodal planes
Nodal planes are the regions around the atom with a 0% chance of finding an electron.
