For a given orbital, there are two types of nodes :
The number of angular nodes = l
The number of radial nodes = (n - l- 1)
Total number of nodes = n - 1
Where:
n = Principal quantum number
l = Azimuthal quantum number
So, for the 5 d orbital, n = 5 and l = 2.
Number of angular nodes = 2
Number of radial nodes = 5-2-1=2
And, total number of nodes = 3
