Quantum number provides the entire information about an electron of a particular atom.

Principal quantum number 'n' 

Azimuthal quantum number 'l'

Magnetic quantum number 'm_{l}'

Spin quantum number 'm_{s}'.

The orbitals occupied by the electrons are:

1. 4d-orbital 

2. 3d-orbital

3. 4p-orbital

4. 3d-orbital

5. 3p-orbital

6. 4p-orbital

For the same orbitals, electrons will have the same energy and higher the value of (n+l) value higher is the energy.

Therefore, the increasing order of energies:

5.{\color{DarkGreen} (3p)}< 2.{\color{DarkGreen} (3d)} = 4.{\color{DarkGreen} (3d)}<3.{\color{DarkGreen} (4p)}=6. {\color{DarkGreen} (4p)}<1.{\color{DarkGreen} (4d)}
