Chapter 7, Problem 7.97QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: From the given list, the increasing order of energy of orbitals is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The energy of an orbital is given by the sum of Principal quantum number and Azimuthal quantum number. Lower value of $n+l$ suggests that the energy of orbital is also less. If two orbitals have same energy then the orbital with lower value of Principal quantum number has less energy in comparison to other orbital.

To determine: The energy of orbital having value of $n=3$ and $l=2$.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The energy of orbital having value of $n=5$ and $l=1$.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The energy of orbital having value of $n=3$ and $l=0$.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The energy of orbital having value of $n=4$, $l=1$ and $m_l=-1$ .
