Identify the orbital having highest energy from following:

  1. A 2 p
  2. B 3 s
  3. C 3 d
  4. D 4 p
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4 p

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Higher the sum of \((\mathrm{n}+l)\) value of an orbital, the higher is its energy. If two orbitals have same value of \((\mathrm{n}+l)\), then the orbital with higher value of n will have more energy.
