The number of angular nodes and radial nodes in 3s orbital are

The number of angular nodes and radial nodes in 3s orbital are
A 0 and 1, respectively
B 0 and 2, respectively
C 1 and 0, respectively
D 3 and 0, respectively

Detailed Solution

For an ns orbital, angular nodes $=l=0$. Radial nodes $=n-l-1=3-0-1=2$. So 3s has 0 angular nodes and 2 radial nodes.
