total no of nodes=n-1. no of angular nodes/nodal planes=l(azimuthal quantum no value). no of radial nodes=n-l-1

n=principal quantum no value. nodal planes in dz2 or d is 2. plaese approve the answer if correct

Though by the formula nobof nodal planes it gives answer as 2 but due to the 3d structure of dz^2 orbital i.e dumble in xz plane and ring in y x plane makes the no of nodal plane to be zero. Though their exist some region where probability of finding electron is zero but no full nodal plane exists.

Actually in case of dz^2 orbital there are 2 nodal cones instead of nodal planes.As discussed earlier, there are no perfect planes, but according to the orbital orientation clearly represent the nodal surfaces(cones). Hope it helps.

It has zero nodal planes but has two nodal cones that are also called conical nodes. These nodes are called angular nodes and are dependent on azimuthal quantum number.

dz^2 has a electron cloud around it so if we try to divide it in equal plane there will be presence of electrons so there couldn't be any nodal plane in it.....

Thanks.

By formula it says two angular nodes as angular nodes = azimuthal quantum no. But there is no possibility of a plane crossing the nuclei without touching the dz^2 ring but if we make conical structures in z direction 2 nodes are formed
