Structure Of Atom Question 12

Question 12 - 31 January - Shift 2

Arrange the following orbitals in decreasing order of energy?

(A) $n=3,1=0, m=0$

(B) $n=4,1=0, m=0$

(C) $n=3,1=1, m=0$

(D) $n=3,1=2, m=1$

The correct option for the order is :

(1) B $>$ D $>$ C $>$ A

(2) D $>$ B $>$ C $>$ A

(3) A $>$ C $>$ B $>$ D

(4) D $>$ B $>$ A $>$ C

Answer: (2)

Solution:

Formula: Quantum Theory

(A) $n=3 ; 1=0 ; m=0 ; 3 s$ orbital

(B) $n=4 ; 1=0 ; m=0 ; 4 s$ orbital

(C) $n=3 ; 1=1 ; m=0 ; 3 p$ orbital

(D) $n=3 ; 1=2 ; m=0 ; 3 d$ orbital

As per Hund’s rule energy is given by $(n+l$ ) value.

If value of $(n+l)$ remains same then energy is given by $n$ only.
