Analyzing +4 | -1
For an atom or ion having single electron, compare the energies of the following orbitals.

S1=\mathrm{S}_1=A spherically symmetrical orbital having two spherical nodes.

S2=\mathrm{S}_2= An orbital which is double dumb-bell and has no radial node.

S3=\mathrm{S}_3= An orbital with orbital angular momentum zero and three radial nodes.

S4=\mathrm{S}_4= An orbital having one planar and one radial node.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
S1=S2=S4<S3\mathrm{S}_1=\mathrm{S}_2=\mathrm{S}_4 < \mathrm{S}_3
Option A is correct because for a single-electron system, energy depends only on the principal quantum number (n), so orbitals with the same n have the same energy.
