What is the primary difference in the energies of orbitals in multi-electron atoms compared to hydrogen or hydrogen-like species?

Options

  1. AThe energies depend only on the quantum number n
  2. BThe energies depend only on the quantum number l
  3. CThe energies depend on both quantum numbers n and l
  4. DThe energies are constant and do not depend on quantum numbers

Correct answer

C. The energies depend on both quantum numbers n and l

Step-by-step solution

The energies of the orbitals in multi-electron atoms depend on both quantum numbers n and l, unlike the orbitals of hydrogen or hydrogen-like species, whose energies depend only on the quantum number n.
