The quantum numbers of four electrons are given below.
I. n=4; l=2; ml=-2; s=-12
II. n=3; l=2; ml=1; s=+12
III. n=4; l=1; ml=0; s=+12
IV. n=3; l=1; ml=-1; s=+12
The correct decreasing order of energy of these electrons is [2024]
(2)
The increasing order of energy is 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, …
Thus, I(4d)>III(4p)>II(3d)>IV(3p).
