Which of the following energy levels has the highest energy? And why? A) 4p B) 4s C) 3d D) 4f

thomaster (thomaster):

Take a look at the attachment. From low energy to high: You start in the left upper corner, so with 1s. then you go to the right untill you cannot go further, that's where you go 1 period lower. So s2, then you go to the right again. You'll see there's 2p next. then 3s, 3p. etc So which level has the highest energy?

4f ?

thomaster (thomaster):

yes :)

thomaster (thomaster):

actually 4f is between 6s and 5d, as in a normal periodic table. And 5f is between 7s and 6d. But still 4f has the highest energy.
