For a multi-electron atom, the highest energy level among the following is:
Correct answer: D. n = 5, l = 1, m = 0, s = +1/2
- A. n = 5, l = 0, m = 0, s = +1/2
- B. n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = -1/2
- C. n = 3, l = 1, m = 1, s = -1/2
- D. n = 5, l = 1, m = 0, s = +1/2
Explanation
Higher the n + l value higher is the energy. If the n+ l value is same then for higher energy is corresponds to the greater n value orbital. Therefore, option d is correct.

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.
