Which of the following is not a correct statement regarding the energies of orbitals?
  1. The lower the value of (n + l) for an orbital, lower is its energy.
  2. Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decreases with increase in atomic number.
  3. Energy of s-orbital is lower than the p-orbital and that of p-orbital is lower than the d-orbital.
  4. If two orbitals have same value for (n + l), the orbital with higher value of n will have lower energy.

Answer

(B) Energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decreases with increase in atomic number.
