Question

Check all of the following statements that are true. You should check anywhere from one to three boxes. PLEASE HELP ONLY 1 MORE CHANCE OF GETTING POINTS

1a.)

-the 3s orbital on Mg is at lower energy than the 3s orbital on P

-the 4d orbital on Sr is at lower energy than the 4d orbital on Ru

-the 2s orbital on Ge is at lower energy than the 2s orbital on Ni

-none of these statements is correct ***(THIS ONE IS WRONG)*****

1b.)

-the 4s orbital on K is at lower energy than the 3s orbital on Na

-none of these statements is correct

-the 3s orbital on Na is at lower energy than the 3p orbital on Cl ******(THIS ONE IS WRONG)****** (or at least only that one is wrong can be correct if combined with another answer)

-the 5p orbital on I is at lower energy than the 4p orbital on Br

Answer 1

1a.)

-the 3s orbital on Mg is at lower energy than the 3s orbital on P          = False

-the 4d orbital on Sr is at lower energy than the 4d orbital on Ru       = False

-the 2s orbital on Ge is at lower energy than the 2s orbital on Ni         = True

-none of these statements is correct     = False

1b.)

-the 4s orbital on K is at lower energy than the 3s orbital on Na       =   false

-none of these statements is correct       = True

-the 3s orbital on Na is at lower energy than the 3p orbital on Cl     = false

-the 5p orbital on I is at lower energy than the 4p orbital on Br      = false
