The order of increasing energies of the orbitals follows:
Options
- A5 p 4 f 6 s 5 d
- B5 p 6 s 4 f 5 d
- C4 f 5 p 5 d 6 s
- D5 p 5 d 4 f 6 s
Correct answer
B. 5 p 6 s 4 f 5 d
Step-by-step solution
According to aufbau principle. The order of increasing energies may be summed up as below. 1 s, 2 s, 2 p, 3 s, 3 p, 4 s, 3 d, 4 p .5 s, 4 d, 5 p, 6 s , 4 f, 5 d, 6 p, 7 s, 5 f, 6 d and 7 p So, the correct order is 5 p 6 s 4 f 5 d
