ahoy!
========

The quantum numbers of six electrons are given below.
Arrange them in order of increasing energies.
If any of these combination(s) has/have the same energy lists:

1. n = 4, l = 2, ml = –2 , ms = –1/2
2. n = 3, l = 2, ml= 1 , ms = +1/2
3. n = 4, l = 1, ml = 0 , ms = +1/2
4. n = 3, l = 2, ml = –2 , ms = –1/2
5. n = 3, l = 1, ml = –1 , ms= +1/2 6. n = 4, l = 1, ml = 0 , ms = +1/2

explain it in best way possible.

Usually, we use the value of 'n'(principal quantum number) plus 'l'(azimuthal quantum number) to know the energy.

More the value of "n + l" more is the energy!
but if 2 electrons have the same value of 'n + l', then we say that more the value of 'n' more is the energy! 

So, we can depend upon the formula "n + l"

1) n = 4, l = 2 : n+l = 6

2) 
n = 3, l = 2 : n+l = 5

3) 
n = 4, l = 1 : n+l = 5

4) 
n = 3, l = 2 : n+l = 5

5) 
n = 3, l = 1 : n+l = 4

6) 
n = 4, l = 1 : n+l = 5

Therefore the order goes like this: (in the decreasing order of energy)

(1) > (3) = (6) > (2) = (4) > (5)

locomaniac: great answer!! it's just that it has got to be written in increasing order.
locomaniac: thank you :)
locomaniac: bro? wouldn't the correct sequence be 1 > 2 = 4 > 3 = 6 > 5 ?
siril: No, According to my notes when the 'n+l' value is same for any 2 cases, then the principal quantum (n) must be given priority over azimuthal quantum number (l)
siril: Also (2) and (4) indicate 3d subshell which has less energy than 4p subshell of (3) and (6)
siril: That is why 3d subshell is filled first and then filling starts in 4p (lower energy ones are filled first)
siril: Thus the increasing order of energy is : (5) < (2) = (4) < (3) = (6) < (1)
locomaniac: Okay :)
