MCQ
For $H-$atom, the energy required for the removal of electron from various sub-shells is given as under :

The order of the energies would be :

  • A
    $E_1 > E_2 > E_3$
  • B
    $E_3 > E_2 > E_1$
  • $E_1 = E_2 = E_3$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$E_1 = E_2 = E_3$
c
All the electrons present in 3 rd orbit will have the same energy. Energy depends on the orbit

number or shell for $\mathrm{H}$ - like species.

$E_{n^{t h}}=\frac{-13.6}{n^{2}} e V$

$s, p, d$ are subshell of the same orbit

Therefore, all the electrons will have the same energy.

$\therefore E_{1}=E_{2}=E_{3}$

$\therefore$ Option $\mathrm{C}$ is correct.
