Question

Which of the following lists electron sublevels in order of increasing energy?
A)4p < 4d < 5s < 5p < 6s
B)4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s
C)6s < 5p < 5s < 4d < 4p
D)6s < 5p < 4d < 5s < 4p
E)4p = 4d < 5s = 5p < 6s

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of increasing energy for electron sublevels, according to the Aufbau principle, is 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s. This sequence takes into account the energy levels and sublevels as electrons fill atomic orbitals.
