What is a nodal surface?
(N/A) nodal surface (or node) is a region in an orbital where the probability density of finding an electron is zero.
For an orbital with principal quantum number $n$ and azimuthal quantum number $l$,the total number of nodes is given by $(n - 1)$.
These are divided into radial nodes $(n - l - 1)$ and angular nodes $(l)$.
