Which one of the following sequences with regard to the energy content of different orbitals, is correct?

A$$1s< 2s< 2p< 3d< 4s< 4p$$
B$$1s< 2s< 2p< 4s< 3d< 4p$$
Correct Answer
C$$1s< 2s< 4s< 2p< 4p< 3d$$
D$$1s< 2s< 3d< 4s< 2p< 4p$$

Solution

The energy content of different orbitals is as follows:
1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d< 4p
So correct order is $$1s < 2s < 2p < 4s < 3d < 4p$$
So answer is B.
