The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of decreasing energy of the electrons based on their quantum numbers, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Quantum Numbers The quantum numbers for the electrons are: - \( e_1: (n=3, l=0, m=0, s=+\frac{1}{2}) \) - \( e_2: (n=4, l=0, m=0, s=+\frac{1}{2}) \) - \( e_3: (n=3, l=2, m=2, s=-\frac{1}{2}) \) - \( e_4: (n=3, l=1, m=-1, s=+\frac{1}{2}) \) ### Step 2: Calculate \( n + l \) Values Next, we calculate the \( n + l \) values for each electron: - For \( e_1 \): \( n + l = 3 + 0 = 3 \) - For \( e_2 \): \( n + l = 4 + 0 = 4 \) - For \( e_3 \): \( n + l = 3 + 2 = 5 \) - For \( e_4 \): \( n + l = 3 + 1 = 4 \) ### Step 3: Determine Energy Order Based on \( n + l \) The energy of an electron in an orbital is determined primarily by the \( n + l \) value: - Higher \( n + l \) value means higher energy. - If two orbitals have the same \( n + l \) value, the one with the higher \( n \) value has higher energy. ### Step 4: List \( n + l \) Values Now we can list the \( n + l \) values: - \( e_1: 3 \) - \( e_2: 4 \) - \( e_3: 5 \) - \( e_4: 4 \) ### Step 5: Order by Energy 1. **Highest Energy**: \( e_3 \) (5) 2. **Next Highest**: \( e_2 \) (4) and \( e_4 \) (4) - compare \( n \) values: - \( e_2 \) has \( n = 4 \) (higher) - \( e_4 \) has \( n = 3 \) (lower) 3. **Lowest Energy**: \( e_1 \) (3) ### Final Order of Decreasing Energy Thus, the order of decreasing energy is: 1. \( e_3 \) 2. \( e_2 \) 3. \( e_4 \) 4. \( e_1 \) ### Conclusion The correct order of decreasing energy for the electrons is: **\( e_3, e_2, e_4, e_1 \)** ---
