Q41 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Chemistry

4d, 5p, 5f and 6p orbitals are arranged in the order of decreasing energy. The correct option is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    5f>6p>5p>4d
  • B
    6p>5f>5p>4d
  • C
    6p>5f>4d>5p
  • D
    5f>6p>4d>5p

Solution

n+l values:

4d=4+2=6

5p=5+1=6

5f=5+3=8

6p=6+1=7

Sub-shell which has higher n+l value, has more energy.

If n+l is same for two sub-shells, then the one having more n value has more energy.

5f>6p>5p>4d

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
