RE-NEET 2024 Chemistry Quantum Numbers MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

The quantum numbers of four electrons are given below:

I. n = 4; l = 2; m₁ = -2; s = -½ II. n = 3; l = 2; m₁ = 1; s = +½ III. n = 4; l = 1; m₁ = 0; s = +½ IV. n = 3; l = 1; m₁ = -1; s = +½

The correct decreasing order of energy of these electrons is

A

IV > I > III > I

B

I > III > II > IV

C

III > I > II > IV

D

I > II > III > IV

Correct Answer

Option 2

Detailed Explanation

Energy levels are determined by the principal quantum number n and azimuthal quantum number l. Higher n and l values indicate higher energy.
