Chemistry · Structure of atom
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).\n Assertion (A): In multi-electron atoms, orbitals within the same shell have different energies.\n Reason (R): Shielding of outer electrons by inner shell electrons leads to different effective nuclear charges experienced by different subshells. \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation
Different subshells experience different degrees of shielding and penetration, leading to distinct energies in multi-electron atoms.
