The quantum number of four electrons are given below:
I. n=4,  l=2,  ml=−2,  ms=−12n = 4,\,\,l = 2,\,\,{m_l} = - 2,\,\,{m_s} = - \frac{1}{2}
II. n=3,  l=2,  ml=1,  ms=+12n = 3,\,\,l = 2,\,\,{m_l} = 1,\,\,{m_s} = + \frac{1}{2}
III. n=4,  l=1,  ml=0,  ms=+12n = 4,\,\,l = 1,\,\,{m_l} = 0,\,\,{m_s} = + \frac{1}{2}
IV. n=3,  l=1,  ml=1,  ms=−12n = 3,\,\,l = 1,\,\,{m_l} = 1,\,\,{m_s} = - \frac{1}{2}
The correct order of their increasing energies will be
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
IV<II<III<I \mathrm{IV < II < III < I}\,
The correct order is IV < II < III < I because the energy of an electron is determined by the (n+l) rule, and if (n+l) is the same, the electron with lower n has lower energy.
