Question:

The wave functions px and dxz are linear combinations of the spherical harmonic functions, which are eigenfunctions of the operators Ĥ, l̂2, and l̂z for rotation in three dimensions. The combinations have been chosen to yield real functions. Are these functions still eigenfunctions of l̂z? Answer this question by applying the operator to the functions.
