**Statement 1:** 5s orbital has greater energy than 4s. **Statement 2:** Energy of the orbital depends on the azimuthal quantum number.

JEE Main Chemistry question

**Statement 1:** orbital has greater energy than . **Statement 2:** Energy of the orbital depends on the azimuthal quantum number.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

does have greater energy than (higher principal quantum number, higher value), so the Assertion is true. It is also true, in general, that orbital energy in a multi-electron atom depends on the azimuthal quantum number (this is why, for instance, and differ
