Q. Which is not in accordance to aufbau principle?

A) [image:2_image9.emf]
B) [image:2_image10.emf]
C) [image:2_image11.emf]
D) [image:2_image12.emf]
Explanation

(c)
Aufbau principle states that in the ground state of an atom, the orbital with lower energy is filled up first before the filling of the orbitals with a higher energy commences.
Increasing order of energy of various orbitals is
$1s,2s,2p,3s,\ 3p,4s,3d,4p,5s,\ldots etc.$
Therefore,

Is not obeyed by aufbau principle. Without fully filling of $s$-subshell electrons cannot enter in $p$-subshell in ground state of atom.
