Which of the following statements in relation to the hydrogen atom is correct?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 3s orbital is lower in energy than 3p orbital
  • B 3p orbital is lower in energy than 3d orbital
  • C 3s and 3p orbitals are of lower energy than 3d orbital
  • D 3s, 3p and 3d orbitals all have the same energy

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

NOTE : In one electron species, such as H-atom, the energy of orbital depends only on the principal quantum number, n.

Hence answer (d)

i.e. is 2s=2p<3s=3p=3d<4s=4p=4d=4f
