Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) A and C only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement A: According to the \((n+l)\) rule, if two orbitals have the same \((n+l)\) value, the orbital with the lower value of \(n\) has lower energy. This statement is true. Statement B: As the atomic number increases, the effective nuclear charge (\(Z_{eff}\)) increases. The…
