Among 3d, 4s, 4p orbitals,
which one fills last by an electron? And why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

4p' orbital fills last with electron. Even though '3d' and '4p' has equal energies, '4p-' has higher 'n' value (n = 4). So, `3d lt 4p`.
According to Aufbau principle '3d' is filled first, then only '4p' will be filled.
