Identify the incorrect statement from the following. (1) All the five 5d5d orbitals are different in size when compared to the respective 4d4d orbitals. (2) All the five 4d4d orbitals have shapes similar to the respective 3d3d orbitals. (3) In an atom, all the five 3d3d orbitals are equal in energy in free state. The shapes of dxyd_{xy}, dyzd_{yz} and dzxd_{zx} orbitals are similar to each other; and dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} and dz2d_{z^2} are similar to each other.

Step-by-Step Solution

In an atom, all the five 3d3d orbitals are equal in energy in free state i.e., degenerate. The shape of dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} is different than shape of dz2d_{z^2}.
