In which of the following, orbitals are correctly arranged in the increasing order of their energies?
Options
- A4 f < 5 p < 5 d < 6 s
- B5 p < 4 f < 6 s < 5 d
- C5 p < 6 s < 4 f < 5 d
- D5 p < 5 d < 4 f < 6 s
Correct answer
C. 5 p < 6 s < 4 f < 5 d
Step-by-step solution
For multielectron atoms, the energy of the orbitals increases with an increase in their ( n +l) value. Thus, the order will be :- 5 p < 6 ~s < 4 f < 5 ~d
