MCQ
Krypton $(_{36}Kr)$ has the electronic configuration $[Ar]4s^2 ,3d^{10} ,4p^6 .$ The $37^{th}$ electron will go into which of following subshells
  • A
    $4f$
  • B
    $4d$
  • C
    $3p$
  • $5s$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$5s$
d
The $37^{th}$ electron will go into $5 s$ sub-level.

According to aufbau principle, the correct order of energy of $4 p$ and $5 s$-orbitals is $4 p \,<\,5 s$

Aufbau principle:

In the ground state of the atoms, the orbitals are filled with electrons in order of increasing energy.

The $4 p$ sub-energy level is at a lower energy than the $5$ sub-energy level

For $4 p , n =4$ and $1=1$. Hence, $( n +1)=4+1=5$

For $5 s , n =5$ and $1=0$. Hence, $( n +1)=5+0=5$

As the value of $( n +1)$ for $4 p$ orbital is same as that of $5 s$ orbital, $4 p$ orbital is filled before $5$ orbital as $4 p$ orbital has lower value of $n$ than $5 s$ orbital.
