The energies of orbitals of hydrogen atom are in the order

Question

The energies of orbitals of hydrogen atom are in the order (A) 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p (B) 3s < 3p < 3d < 4s < 4p (C) 3s = 3p = 3d < 4s = 4p (D) 3s = 3p = 3d < 4s < 4p

In hydrogen atom, the energy of electron depends upon principle quantum number only and not on azimuthal quantum number due to lack of inter electronic repulsions.

Q. The energies of orbitals of hydrogen atom are in the order

3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p

3s < 3p < 3d < 4s < 4p

3s = 3p = 3d < 4s = 4p

3s = 3p = 3d < 4s < 4p

In hydrogen atom, the energy of electron depends upon principle quantum number only and not on azimuthal quantum number due to lack of inter electronic repulsions.
