The electrons identified by quantum numbers n and l , are as follows I. n=4, l=1 II. n=4, l=0 III. n=3, l=2 IV. n=3, l=1 If we arrange them in order of increasing energy, i.e. from lowest to highest, the correct order is
Options
- AIV < II < III < I
- BII < IV < I < III
- CI < III < II < IV
- DIII < I < IV < II
Correct answer
A. IV < II < III < I
Step-by-step solution
(i) More be the sum of n+1 more be the energy. (ii) For same sum, the more value of n , have higher energy. n+1 for (i) 4+1=5 (ii) 4+0=4 (iii) 3+2=5 (iv) 3+1=4 Correct order is (iv) (ii) (iii) (i)
