The correct enegry value order isA. `ns, np, nd, (n - 1)f`B. `ns, np, (n -1)d, (n -2)f`C. `ns, np, (n - 1)d, (n - 1)f`D. `ns, (n - 1)d, np (n - 1)f`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Considering the minimum value of `n` for the existence of the `f` subshell, we have
`(1) rArr 5s, 5p, 5d, 4f (2) rArr 6s, 6p, 4d, 4f`
`(3) rArr 5s, 5p, 4d, 4f (4) rArr 5s, 4d, 5p, 4f`
According to the `(n+l)` rule, lower `(n +l)` implies lower energy, and if `(n +l)` is same, then lower `n` implies lower enegry. Therefore, teh correct enegry value order is
`5s lt 4d lt 5p lt 4f`
