Answer is 1,0

For 2s Orbital,

n=2 , l=0

1) Spherical nodes of 2s orbital is given by formula: n-l-1

                                     n=2 l=0 for 2s Orbital

                                    = 2-0-1

                                   = 1

Spherical nodes for 2s orbital is 1

2) Calculation of angular nodes for 2s orbital:

Angular nodes for 2s orbital=l

FOR 2S orbital l=0

there fore angular nodes for 2s orbital is 0
