Four different sets of quantum numbers for 4 electrons are given below:-

What is the order of energy fore1,e2,e3ande4? Explain.

e3 > e1 > e2 > e4

Energy depends on the value of n and l by the Bohr' Bury rule.
Higher value of n+l will have higher energy. If value of n+l is same, then higher value of n will have higher energy

For e1, n+l = 4 + 0 = 4
For e2, n+l = 3+ 1 = 4
For e3, n+l = 3 + 2 = 5
For e4, n+l = 3 + 0 = 3
