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): The energies of the orbitals in the same subshell decrease with increase in atomic number (\( Z_{eff} \)).\n Reason (R): Higher atomic number increases the attractive force on electrons, lowering their orbital energy. \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
Higher nuclear charge increases attractive interaction, making orbital energy lower (more negative).
