1.

Which has more energy of election: (i) Last election of Cl− or 1/last electron of O2− (ii) n = 4,l = 3 or n = 5,l = 2

Answer»

Electronic Configuration:

Cl = 2, 8, 8 = 1s2 , 2s22p6 , 3s23p6

O2− = 2, 8 = 1s2 , 2s2sp6

Since last electron of Cl occurs in 3p sub- shell and last electron of O2− occurs 2p subshell. As we know that, according to Aufbau principle, 3p Subshell has more energy than 2p subshell. Therefore, last electron of Cl has more energy of electron.

(ii) n = 4, l = 3 represent 4f

n = 5, l = 2 represents 5p

According to Aufbau principle, the energy of 4f is more than 5p. So, n = 4, l = 3 has more energy of electron.
