Which of the following statement(s) is/are true ? Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A, B and C only
  2. A and C only
  3. C and D only
  4. A only

Answer

(2) A and C only

Solution

A. For equal (n + l), the orbital with lower n has lower energy (e.g. 3d < 4p < 5s for n + l = 5). ⇒ True

B. As atomic number increases, the effective nuclear charge increases and the electrons are held more tightly.

⇒ Energies of orbitals of the same subshell decrease (e.g. E(2s) of H > Li > Na > K). ⇒ False

C. Size of an orbital increases with n ⇒ 2px is smaller than 3px. ⇒ True

D. Radial nodes = n − l − 1:

5f = 5 − 3 − 1 = 1; 6s = 6 − 0 − 1 = 5; 4d = 4 − 2 − 1 = 1; 5p = 5 − 1 − 1 = 3; 5d = 5 − 2 − 1 = 2

⇒ 5d has 2 radial nodes ⇒ False

∴ Only A and C are true.

Answer: (2)
