Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(A>C>B>D\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(n=\) principal quantum number The principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron state. As \(n\) increases, the electron is also at a higher energy and is, therefore less tightly bound to the…
