what is shape of d-Orbital designated as dxy dyz dxz dx2-y2 dz2
All the d-orbitals are double dumb-bell shaped orbitals. The dxy, dyz, dxz orbitals have their lobes oriented in between the axes, while the dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals have their lobes oriented along the axes. The shape of the dxy, dyz, dxz, dx2-y2, dz2 orbitals are as follows
