Solve this following

Question:

A certain orbital has $n=4$ and $m_{L}=-3$. The number of radial nodes in this orbital is (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Solution:

$\mathrm{n}=4$ and $\mathrm{m}_{\ell}=-3$

Hence, $\ell$ value must be 3 .

Now, number of radial nodes $=\mathrm{n}-\ell-1$

$=4-3-1=0$
