What is the label for this orbital that indicates the type of orbital and its orientation in space

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-12-29] [Hit: ]
Very confused!-P orbitals are single dumbbell shaped and are oriented along the x, y or z axis. What you are shown is a double dumbbell (a d orbital) that exists between the x and y axis not along them.This particular orbital is called the dxy orbital.See the link below,......
What is the label for this orbital (Part B 1 figure) that indicates the type of orbital and its orientation in space?

Here's the image:

Express your answer using appropriate letters (e.g., px ).



I'm not sure what it's asking me to enter?
It looks like p(sub)x^2 and p(sub)y^2 ??

Very confused!

P orbitals are single dumbbell shaped and are oriented along the x, y or z axis. What you are shown is a double dumbbell (a d orbital) that exists between the x and y axis not along them. This particular orbital is called the dxy orbital. See the link below, it shows all d orbital shapes - in particular look at the dxy orbital to verify my answer.(It's in section 7.1)
