What are the number of orbital of zinc having atleast one angular node ? Please explain too ?

Dear student

Angular nodes are either x, y, and z planes where electrons aren’t present.  Electron density is zero at the angular nodes.

ℓ’, i.e the azimuthal quantum number equals the number of angular nodes

Zn has the configuration 3d104s2,  for 3d orbital l=2 so there are 2 angular nodes
