JEE Main & Advanced Chemistry Structure of Atom / परमाणु संरचना Sample Paper Topic Test - Structure of Atom

  • question_answer
      Which of the following sets of quantum numbers represent the highest stability of an atom?

    A) \[n=4,\,\ell =1,\,m=0,\,s=+1/2\]

    B) \[n=4,\,\ell =0,\,m=0,\,s=+1/2\]

    C) \[n=4,\,\ell =2,\,m=1,\,s=+1/2\]

    D) \[n=3,\,\ell =1,\,m=0,\,s=+1/2\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] The lower the value of \[(n+l)\] for an orbital, the lower is its energy. If two orbitals have the same \[(n+l)\] value, the orbital with lower value of n has the lower energy i.e., highest stability. Set [d] has the lower value of n, thus has highest stability.
