Identify the orbital having highest energy from following:
- A 2 p
- B 3 s
- C 3 d
- D 4 p
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.
