Which of the following is not a correct statement regarding the energies of orbitals?

Options

A. The lower the value of (n + 1) for an orbital, lower is its energy.
B. Electron in the same subshell have equal energy.
C. Energy of s-orbital is lower than the p-orbital and that of p-orbital is lower than the d-orbital.
D. If two orbitals have same value for (n + 1), the orbital with higher value of n will have lower energy.

Answer

D

Explanation

If two orbitals have same value for (n + l), the orbital with lower value of n will have lower energy.
