Which of the following is not a correct statement regarding the energies of orbitals?
A
The lower the value of (n + l) for an orbital, lower is its energy.
B
Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decreases with increase in atomic number.
C
Energy of s – orbital is lower than the p – orbital and that of p – orbital is lower than the d – orbital.
D
If two orbitals have same value for (n +l), the orbital with higher value of n will have lower energy.
Answer
If two orbitals have same value for (n +l), the orbital with higher value of n will have lower energy.
Explanation
Solution
: If two orbitals have same value for (n + l), the orbital with lower value of n will have lower energy.
