Question
Which subshell has the lowest energy for n = 4 in a multi-electron atom?
Explanation
Given:
Which subshell has the lowest energy for n = 4 in a multi-electron atom?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
For n = 4, 4s (l = 0) has the lowest energy, followed by 4p, 4d, 4f..
This is standard NCERT relation.
Substitution & Calculation:
In multi-electron atoms, energy increases with l for a given n.
Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per NCERT.
