MCQ
Which of the following is not a correct statement regarding the energies of orbitals ?
  • A
    The lower the value of $(n + \ell )$ for an orbital, lower is its energy.
  • B
    Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decreases with increase in atomic number
  • C
    Energy of $s-$ orbital is lower than $p-$ orbital and energy of $p-$ orbital is less than that of $d-$ orbital
  • If two orbitals have same value for $(n + \ell )$ then the orbital with higher value of $n$ will have lower energy

Answer

Correct option: D.
If two orbitals have same value for $(n + \ell )$ then the orbital with higher value of $n$ will have lower energy
d
