Options
- A3 s, 3 p and 3 d -orbitals all have the same energy.
- B3 s and 3 p -orbitals are of lower energy than 3 d -orbital.
- C3 p -orbital is lower in energy than 3 d -orbital.
- D3 s -orbital is lower in energy than 3 p -orbital.
Correct answer
A. 3 s, 3 p and 3 d -orbitals all have the same energy.
Step-by-step solution
The hydrogen atom has the configuration 1 s and 3 s, 3 p and 3 d -orbitals will have same energy with respect to 1 s -orbital.
