Analyzing +4 | -1
Assertion :- In hydrogen energy of 4s is more than 3d.

Reason :- An orbital with lower value of (n+β„“)(n+\ell) has smaller energy than the orbital with higher value of (n+β„“).(n+\ell).
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion & Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion. The energy of orbitals in multi-electron atoms depends on both n and l, but the (n+l) rule is an approximation and not always accurate.
