Atomic Structure Question 489

Question: Which of the following sets of quantum numbers represent the highest stability of an atom-

Options:

A) n=4,,=1,,m=0,,s=+1/2

B) n=4,,=0,,m=0,,s=+1/2

C) n=4,,=2,,m=1,,s=+1/2

D) n=3,,=1,,m=0,,s=+1/2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • The lower the value of (n+l) for an orbital, the lower is its energy. If two orbitals have the same (n+l) value, the orbital with lower value of n has the lower energy i.e., highest stability. Set [d] has the lower value of n, thus has highest stability.
