Question

Which of the following statements is /are correct? (A) The energy of an electron is largely determined by its principal quantum number (B) The energy of electron in an orbital in the hydrogen atom depends upon the value of principal quantum number only (C) The value of principal quantum number for 24 text th electron is 3 (D) The principal quantum number is a measure of the most probable distance of finding the electron around the nucleus

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

For one electron system energy of electron depends only on principal quantum number while for many electron system it depends on value of

(n + 1)

2 4^{th}

electron enters in

3 d

orbital. Hence, its principal quantum number is 3 .

Q. Which of the following statements is /are correct?

The energy of an electron is largely determined by its principal quantum number

The energy of electron in an orbital in the hydrogen atom depends upon the value of principal quantum number only

The value of principal quantum number for $2 4^{th}$ electron is 3

The principal quantum number is a measure of the most probable distance of finding the electron around the nucleus

For one electron system energy of electron depends only on principal quantum number while for many electron system it depends on value of $(n + 1)$
$2 4^{th}$ electron enters in $3 d$ orbital. Hence, its principal quantum number is 3 .
