According to 'n+I' rule ,the value of 6f is 9 while 7s orbital has '7' value, it shows?
Correct answer: B. 7s placed first
- A. 6f filled first
- B. 7s placed first
- C. 7s placed later
- D. 6f placed later
Explanation
The (n+l) rule corresponds to the Aufbau principle where n represents the quantum number and l represents the azimuthal number. The Aufbau principle states that electrons fill lower-energy atomic orbitals before filling higher-energy ones (Aufbau is German for "building-up"). A lower (n+l) value indicates lower-energy orbitals which are filled first. Hence, 7s will be filled before 6f.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
