NEET2019ChemistryStructure of AtomActual
4 d ,   5 p ,   5 f and 6 p orbitals are arranged in the order of decreasing energy. The correct option is:
Options
- A5 f > 6 p > 5 p > 4 d
- B6 p > 5 f > 5 p > 4 d
- C6 p > 5 f > 4 d > 5 p
- D5 f > 6 p > 4 d > 5 p
Correct answer
A. 5 f > 6 p > 5 p > 4 d
Step-by-step solution
n + l values: 4 d = 4 + 2 = 6 5 p = 5 + 1 = 6 5 f = 5 + 3 = 8 6 p = 6 + 1 = 7 Sub-shell which has higher n + l value, has more energy. If n + l is same for two sub-shells, then the one having more n value has more energy. 5 f > 6 p > 5 p > 4 d
