Identify the incorrect statement from the following:
- AAll the five orbitals are different in size when compared to the respective orbitals.
- BAll the five orbitals have shapes similar to the respective orbitals.
- CIn an atom, all the five orbitals are equal in energy in free state.
- DThe shapes of and orbitals are similar to each other; and and are similar to each other.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Size increases with principle quantum number (). Correct.2. Orbitals of the same subshell type have similar shapes across different shells. Correct.3. Orbitals are degenerate in free state. Correct.4. Incorrect statement: While are similar (all have lobes between axes), and are NOT similar in shape. has lobes along the axes, while has a unique "doughnut" or "torus" shape along the axis.
