NEETChemistryStructure of Atom
What is the relationship between the values of (n + l) and the energy of orbitals?
Options
- AHigher values of (n + l) result in lower energy.
- BLower values of (n + l) result in lower energy.
- CHigher values of (n + l) result in higher energy.
- DValues of (n + l) do not affect the energy of orbitals.
Correct answer
B. Lower values of (n + l) result in lower energy.
Step-by-step solution
Thelower values of (n + l) correspond to lower energy orbitals.
