MCQ
The quantum number of four electrons are given below

$I.  n = 4,l = 2,m_l = -2, m_s =  -1/ 2$
$II.  n = 3,l = 2, m_l = 1,m_s = +1/ 2$
$III. n = 4,l = 1, m_l = 0, m_s = +1/ 2$
$IV. n = 3,l = 1, m_l = 1; m_s = -1/ 2$
The correct order of their increasing energies will be

  • A
    $I < III < II < IV$
  • B
    $I < II < III < IV$
  • $IV < II < III < I$
  • D
    $IV < III < II < I$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$IV < II < III < I$
c
According to Aufbau principle, the energy sequence is
$3p < 3d < 4p < 4d$
