The quantum numbers of four electrons are given below:
$I. \ n = 4, l = 2, m_l = -2, m_s = -1/2$
$II. \ n = 3, l = 2, m_l = 1, m_s = +1/2$
$III. \ n = 4, l = 1, m_l = 0, m_s = +1/2$
$IV. \ n = 3, l = 1, m_l = 1, m_s = -1/2$
The correct order of their increasing energies will be:

  • A
    $I < III < II < IV$
  • B
    $I < II < III < IV$
  • C
    $IV < II < III < I$
  • D
    $IV < III < II < I$
