Which of the following sets of quantuin numbers represents the highest

1.	Which of the following sets of quantuin numbers represents the highest energy of an atom ?
Answer» n = 3 , L = 0 , m = 0, s = + `(1)/(2)` n = 3 , l =1 , m = 1 , s = + `(1)/(2)` n = 3 , l = 2 , m = 1 , s = + `(1)/(2)` n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = +`(1)/(2)` Solution :n = 3, l = 0 represents 3s orbital n = 3, l = I represents 3p orbital n = 3, l = 2 represents 3d orbital n = 4, l = O represents 4s orbital The order of increasing energy of the orbitals is 3s `LT 3p lt 4s lt 3d`.
