JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 27th July Evening Shift - No. 1)

The correct decreasing order of energy for the orbitals having, following set of quantum numbers :

(A) n = 3, l = 0, m = 0

(B) n = 4, l = 0, m = 0

(C) n = 3, l = 1, m = 0

(D) n = 3, l = 2, m = 1

is :

(D) > (B) > (C) > (A)
(B) > (D) > (C) > (A)
(C) > (B) > (D) > (A)
(B) > (C) > (D) > (A)

Explanation

(A) $\mathrm{n}+\ell=3+0=3$

(B) $\mathrm{n}+\ell=4+0=4$

(C) $\mathrm{n}+\ell=3+1=4$

(D) $\mathrm{n}+\ell=3+2=5$

Higher $\mathrm{n}+\ell$ valuc, higher the encrgy & if same $\mathrm{n}+\ell$ value, then higher $\mathrm{n}$ value, higher the energy.

Thus : $\mathrm{D}>\mathrm{B}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{A}$.
