Chemistry · Structure of atom
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements:\n Statement I: The energy of an electron in a multi-electron atom depends on both principal quantum number (\( n \)) and azimuthal quantum number (\( l \)).\n Statement II: For hydrogen and hydrogen-like species, the energy of an orbital depends solely on the principal quantum number (\( n \)). \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
In hydrogen atom, energy depends only on \( n \), whereas in multi-electron atoms, shielding effects cause energy to depend on both \( n \) and \( l \).
