Which is the correct order of increasing energy of the listed orbitals in the atom of titanium ?
(At. no. Z = 22)
3s 4s 3p 3d
4s 3s 3p 3d
3s 3p 3d 4s
3s 3p 4s 3d
Electronic configuration of d block elements -
These elements have other electronic configuration of
-
correct order is
Option 1)
3s 4s 3p 3d
This option is incorrect
Option 2)
4s 3s 3p 3d
This option is incorrect
Option 3)
3s 3p 3d 4s
This option is incorrect
Option 4)
3s 3p 4s 3d
This option is correct
According to afbau rule..
The higher the value of n+L the higher the energy.., if they have same n+L value.. The lower n value orbital has less energy..
In the above options.. n+L values as follows..
3s = 3+0 = 3
4s = 4+0 = 4
3d = 3+2 = 5
3p = 3+1 = 4
So, the correct order of increasing energy is 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d..
