How would the dx2-y2 orbital in the n=5 shell compare to the dx2-y2 orbital in the n=3 subshell? the contour of the orbital would extend further out along the x and y axes. the value of ℓ would increase by 2. the radial probability function would include two more nodes. the orientation of the orbital would be rotated 45∘ along the xy plane. the mℓ value would be the same. drag the appropriate items to their respective bins?
