Q11 / 75 · JEE Main 2025 (28 Jan Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which of the following is/are not correct with respect to energy of atomic orbitals of hydrogen atom? (A)$1 \mathrm{~s} \lt 2 \mathrm{p} \lt 3 \mathrm{~d} \lt 4 \mathrm{~s}$ (B) $1 \mathrm{~s} \lt 2 \mathrm{~s}=2 \mathrm{p} \lt 3 \mathrm{~s}=3 \mathrm{p}$ (C) $1 \mathrm{~s} \lt 2 \mathrm{~s} \lt 2 \mathrm{p} \lt 3 \mathrm{~s} \lt 3 \mathrm{p}$ (D) $1 \mathrm{~s} \lt 2 \mathrm{~s} \lt 4 \mathrm{~s} \lt 3 \mathrm{~d}$ Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    (A) and (C) only
  • B
    (B) and (D) only
  • Correct answer
    C
    (C) and (D) only
  • D
    (A) and (B) only

Solution

For single electron species energy only depends on ' n ' (principal quantum number) So energy of $2 \mathrm{~s}=2 \mathrm{p}$ and energy of $3 \mathrm{~d} < 4 \mathrm{~s}$

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