The quantum number of four electrons are given below :
| I. | n = 4, l=2 , ml = -2, ms = \(-\frac{1}{2}\) |
| II. | n=3, l=2, ml = 1, ms = \(+\frac{1}{2}\) |
| III. | n=4 , l=1, ml = 0, ms = \(+\frac{1}{2}\) |
| IV. | n=3, l=1, ml=1, ms=\(-\frac{1}{2}\) |
The correct order of their increasing energies is:
1. I < III < II < IV
2. IV < II < III < I
3. I < II < III < IV
4. IV < III < II < I
The electrons identified by quantum numbers n and l can be placed in order of increasing energy as:
a. n = 4, = 1
b. n = 4, = 0
c. n = 3, = 2
d. n = 3, = 1
| 1. | (d) < (b) < (c) < (a) | 2. | (b) < (d) < (a) < (c) |
| 3. | (a) < (c) < (b) < (d) | 4. | (c) < (d) < (b) < (a) |
