Which one is the wrong statement?

1. de-Broglie's wavelength is given by  λ =h/mv
where m = mass of the particle,
v = group velocity of the particle
2. The uncertainty principle is E.th/4π
3. Half-filled and fully filled orbitals have greater stability due to greater exchange energy, greater symmetry and more balanced arrangement
4. The energy of 2s-orbital is less than the energy of 2p-orbital in case of hydrogen like atoms.
