Q6 / 60 · JEE Advanced 2015 (Paper 1) · Chemistry
Not considering the electronic spin, the degeneracy of the second excited state (n = ) of H atom is , while the degeneracy of the second excited state of is :
Correct answer: 3
Solution
Energy order of orbitals of H is decided by only principle quantum number (n) while energy order of is decided by rule:
Electronic configuration of is its energy order is decided by rule.
Its excited state is 2p
And degeneracy .
Electronic configuration of is its energy order is decided by rule.
Its excited state is 2p
And degeneracy .
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
