Which of the following electronic configurations has maximum energy?







Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
A. 
Step-by-step solution
The order of increasing energy of the sub-atomic orbitals is . The energy in excited state is more than that in the ground state. In option (a), two electrons are in excited state therefore, it has maximum energy.
