Why does in the building of an atom, the filling of 4s orbital takes place before filling in 3d orbital ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For 4s orbital, n + l value is less than the value for 3d orbital (3+2=5). For details.

While filling up of electrons in the atomic orbitals, the 4s orbital is filled before the 3d orbital but reverse happens during the ionisation of the atom. Explain why?

4s orbitals has less energy than 3d orbital

Assertion : In transition elements radii of 5d series are virtually the same as those of the corresponding members of 4d series. Reason : The filling of 4f orbitals before 5d orbitals results in regular decrease in atomic radii.
