Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Arrange the following orbitals in decreasing order of energy.

A. $\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=0, \mathrm{~m}=0$

B. $\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{l}=0, \mathrm{~m}=0$

C. $\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=1, \mathrm{~m}=0$

D. $\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=2, \mathrm{~m}=1$

The correct option for the order is :

  1. A $\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{A}$
  2. B $\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{D}$
  3. C $\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{A}>\mathrm{C}$
  4. D $\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{A}$ Correct answer

Solution

(A) n = 3; l = 0; m = 0 ; 3s orbital <br/><br/>(B) n = 4; l = 0; m = 0 ; 4s orbital <br/><br/>(C) n = 3; l = 1; m = 0 ; 3p orbital <br/><br/>(D) n = 3; l = 2; m = 0 ; 3d orbital <br/><br/>As per Hund’s ruleo of energy is given by (n + l) value. If value of (n + l) remains same then energy is given by n only.
